Engine Swaps:
The Trueno is a popular car for engine swaps due to its relatively lightweight chassis and strong aftermarket support. Some common swap engines include:
* 2JZ-GE/GTE (from Supra): Powerful 3.0L engines with ample horsepower potential.
* 3S-GE (from Celica): Another popular choice with a strong power-to-weight ratio.
* K20 (from Honda): Known for its rev-happy nature and strong aftermarket support.
Before considering an engine swap, it's crucial to research compatibility, modifications needed, and potential legal issues in your region.
