so your first mistake is ...... why swap in a dohc ? fix the SOHC , (sorry if that was allready coverd ) take the extra grand u woulda spend on a dohc and make the sohc uber quick ..... o yea , and im originally from vegas and i never talked like that .
not trying to be mean or nothing , good luck fixing the problem. and if u want a car that wont give u problems , then u shouldent have bought a 240

wow.. why do you think youll only break the motor once you fix it? and why do you want a DOHC sooo bad? theres only about a 10hp differance from what i read. i say take your 200 and bring it to someone that knows what they're doing and have them fix it. and i suggest cleaning your engine and letting it dry thouroughly and then start the car and look to see where the coolant is coming from...

or just drench the whole engine bay with permatex gasket maker and it will never leak again, and by the way what were you swapping into a supra?, usually they come with the best engine that you can get? or even in the MarkIII's they still had a kick ass 7mgte, anyways i was just wonderin about that, but i hope you learn alot on here.
well the leak is everywhere. it first started from the intake manifold its an antifreeze leak. . Its right by the powersteering right above the alternator. .Its not the hose cuz i checked i was thinking of just changing the whole intake manifold and the throttle body and replacing the water pump and thermostat cuz maybe my thermostat us stuck so my antifreeze doesnt flow to the engine and over heats. . And the reason why i wanna put a dohc cuz im selling this car and just buying a shell for 400 and sell my for 1200 to 1000 so i stilll have 600 or 800 left over and have the money to put a dohc on it. .
and on the supra we did a 7mgte and a 7mge swap. . not necessarily a swap but like replace the motors. . Supra engines is not as complicated as a 240 . . but i like my 240 way better than a supra easier to drive. . even then the MKVI's 1jz but non turbo. . my friend has one and its wack 220 HP and 210 torque not as cool as you think it would be. . well ill try fixin the SOHC and sell it and ill see if i get the shell . . the shell is clean as hell ill get pictures up as soon as i get the other 240. .

^ LOL !!!!
i would start by removing the thermastat. Its a real easy thing to do, and that will instantly let you know if that was the problem.
Take it out, put sealant on the caseing and put it back together. refil with water and start.
If thats not it, Its most likely the water pump. And you should be able to clean and dry the engine so you can find all the leaks.
Sounds like your car has some issues, but its still gonna be easier to fix em than to put a DOHC into the other car. Why do you want to get the other shell so bad??

I wanna get the other shell cuz its better then my shell he has no rust mine has a couple . . interiors better then mine and he is selling his for 500 and if i sell my for 1000 ill have 500 extra to put whatever on the car rather then not having any money at all. .
