I only mentioned it because there was talk of swapping in a Mustang engine. That'll cost you more than double the 7MGTE swap.
Oh and by the way, I'm 37, so stick the "werd" up your a$$

Idiot?
I'm not sure you can find a good complete Supra 7MGTE for $500, but I'd believe $1000
Are you forgetting all the small swap parts?
You'll easily have $4000 when everything is done (which is about twice the 4Runner's value, like I said)
Then you'll have a nose-heavy 4Runner
Don't believe the $4000 figure?
Here's a guy who's done a few and this is with ZERO labor:
