nova was a corolla sprint was a tercell but the celica/supras was not offered with a chevy counter part, i wish. this has 145 hp from the factory in a 6 cyl the 82 camero with a 305 v8 was rated lower although i cant remember off hand.
granted as kids the chevy v8 was always a good starting point and we push a lot more hp out of them.
the 302 is a choice for a low budget build because of the front mount distributer. and firewall clearance. i think this car has a two piece driveline with a carrier bearring so addapting a driveline to a different trans. should be easy. the hp gains with a US v8 are more easily achieved at a lower cost in my opinon.
up here in montana i can go to any junkyard and find a 302 but for a toyota engine i have to call over to seattle and shipping cost are add the pricee gets up there.
