mrshin Forums Junkie Location: Montrose, VIC Registered: May 2002	Re: has it been done v6 in ta22 Sat, 16 July 2005 09:18 I've seen a TA22 with one in it, but I don't know who's car it was, and have no idea what was involved. If you're keen on doing it, head to the local wreckers with a ruler, tape, pen and paper, measure the engine bay on a TA22 and a Buick V6, and you'll soon know if it's going to work. Also take a look at the sump, trans tunnel size, mount locations, etc. to know if it's going to be difficult. One suggestion I can make is to maybe consider an RA23 Celica (looks similiar, but bigger under the bonnet), with a 1GGTE (or even a 1GGZE - this is where the blowers that Commodore guys love so much come from in the first place) in it. It's not that hard to mount in there (provided you get a 1G with the correct sump+mounts), a reasonable gearbox can be bolted right on (W5x Toyota box ('Supra 5 speed) is a lot nicer to use than a T5), and by golly, it'll actually idle smoothly too If you're insistant though, maybe an RA23 is better for the Buick V6 too. It's a fairly compact engine being pushrod, so should leave enough room for exhaust headers etc. Another possumability would be the old-school pushrod Toyota V8 (I'll let someone else suggest a 1UZ) - it's compact, looks old-school, and is still a Toyota engine Do a search on here, someone put one of these into a TA22 a few years ago, and turbo'd the thing for added fun, and it looked pretty tidy.
