5M-GE for MA61

Hello Everyone
I'm looking for a 5M-GE to replace my 5M-E in my MA61 Supra- So preferably a pretty much complete package in good running order. I'd be pushing it to ask for low kms, right?
so stuff like
crossover pipe
AFM
loom
ecu
power steering stuff
would be great.
admittedly, i don't have the cash right now, but it's only a few weeks work.
or, if for some reason you wanted a 5M-E, there could be a swap w/ cash adjustment available.
my 5me has about 127,000kms, new spark plg leads, and has been tested over and over since i've had it, and runs perfectly, happily pushing my supra (with new clutch) to a low 17 second quarter mile
anyway thats a big post

Try finding a 6M-GE out of a creseda, they bolt straight in. Basically a 3litre version of the same engine.
I have one in my supra and am currently wiring up an old wolf 3D to it.

Yea, I know this can be done. I tried but the engine just ran way to rich so I ditched the whole system and went for the wolf. Get rid of that aweful restrictive AFM too!

hmmm
discussing going halves with someone on the $1000 supra
but dad doesn't really want me buying an engine with headgasket problems
so does anyone know of any good condition 5m-ges floating around? even wrecks with decent 5m-ges in them?
or am i dreaming?

6mge is the better option mate if you can get it ..
the 5mge's are about but yeah - a bit old and hard to source ..
there is 7mge - but that requires a bit more ECU work i believe but still pretty much a swapover ..
Ask Ed_ma61 on his conversion
