Toyota-powered Turbo Vettes, and Other Weirdness

I've seen some pretty outrageous engine swaps in the past, but this one may be the weirdest ever.


During a recent message-board perusal, I chanced across a C4 Vette sporting a twin-turbo six-cylinder from a Toyota Supra. Considering the outsize power potential of the Supra motor and the relative affordability of Fourth-gen Vettes, it's hard to fault the owner's logic. Still, I can't help but wonder what he might have accomplished had he put his efforts toward fortifying the stock small-block.

What's the strangest Corvette engine swap you've ever seen, and how did it affect the way you felt about the car?
