10k: 4Soarer: 1995 Toyota 4Runner, 1JZ swap

What's the difference between a Supra with 800 horsepower, 1,000 horsepower, and 1,300 horsepower? About three tenths in the 1/4 mile, or so the joke goes. See, the problem with Toyota's JZ-series engines isn't thrust. The 2.5-liter, 24-valve DOHC unit with one, two, or zero turbochargers ensured that, and a broad aftermarket only adds to the mayhem. The challenge is making all that power stick. Off-road tread definitely won't aid in launching this 2WD body-on-frame truck down the track, but it's unique and well-done and altogether a very Seattle thing to do. Find this 1JZ-GTE-swapped 1995 Toyota 4Runner in Seattle, WA for $10,000 via craigslist.

10K; Slushboxed: 1973 Toyota Corona MKII Wagon Turbo 1JZ-GTE

The second generation Toyota Corona Mark II was Coke bottle styled model that slotted between the luxury Crown and low end basic Corona models sold between 1973-1976.  You can find Mark IIs from time to time on your local craigslist, but most are rusty and powered by a version of the underwhelming Toyota R series cast iron boat anchors, but the one we have today has had a serious injection of engine power.  Find this 1973 Toyota Corona MKII Wagon Turbo with 1JZ-GTE offered for $8,500 in Los Angeles Area, CA via craigslist.  Tip from Alex V.
