ummm... a 1G-GZE is a 2 litre not 3.
have you searched thru the cars for sale section or members rides to see what similar vehicles go for?

well i dont think the 3 litre engines - 2JZ or the 7M came - with a supercharger... in factory form they both have a twin turbo version (2JZ-GTE and 7M-GTE)
and legally i am reasonably sure you can't fit a 3 litre supercharged engine in a 76 celica (tho expect that opnion to be challenged)?
and there's probably not enuf room for this kind of install in hat engine bay?
If it came from an early model supra (GA series?), then it probably is a 2 litre 1G-GZE.
there's a RA somewhere in brisbane with a 1JZ-GTE in it (2.5litre twin turbo) - plus someone at the Gold Coast was selling an RA60 with 1JZ in it.
fwiw - stuffing a 1G-GTE into a 76 celica is a great deal of fun- Kirk's RA with 1G-GTE looked and sounded like sex-on-a-stick.
what ever the engine is, i think you'd want to see the engineering approval of the install - otherwise, if you get defected you have to get it all legit (e.g. spend large sum of money) before being allowed back on the road.

well...
engine: $1k
w57/8 g/box: $500
install: $1k
(if done by someone else)
bits: $1k
(tailshaft, cooling, etc)
then look at prices of 76 celica's with new paint, rubber and brake...
remember, the search button is your friend.

I would just check the mechanicals to make sure that it is not going to break any time soon.

from what you have said that it beats r33 and gen 3,s it may have had a pretty hard life but its definatly a head turner, just make sure somehow that your not going to be stuck on the side of the freeway just after oyu pick it up, theres nothing worse, you also may be so excited at how good it goes that your not listening for noises and other probs but if it all checks out. cool you got a pretty cool car

It was for sale at some stage as I seriously concidered buying it. But I can't find the thread in the for sale section.

This was a great car and it was a sad day to see it leave the club. Dave put a hell of a lot of work into the car and it really showed the workmanship was top notch.
I thought this car was a bargain when it was advertised for a couple of thousand dollars morethan this, lucky I'm squandering all my money on my AW11 or I'd be on my way to Canberra about now.
There are definately pics of the car in the gallery from when we went to small car sunday, pics of it from here in Fast Fours and Hot 4's.

The bonnet strut would have (I assume) been just for the puposes of the show as the factory hinges can be a little annoying if a wind comes up.
