Sorry about your mishap! Regardless of the outcome on the upcoming autopsy, keep your car and fix it! a supra's speed cannot replace what your E is capable of doing period! You wont get much selling it "as is" and when you think about it it will cost you more to find a clean Supra and modifying it vs just throwing a new motor on the beast and finishing what you've started. just my .02
good luck!
Look up that one thread on here. (I forget who it was) But he Replaced a piston by dropping the pan and leaving the motor in for cheap and he has had no issue with it since. Someone chime in. He had a detailed thread with pictures!! Don't give up on it. You need to fix it first before you sell it anyways unless you want 10k for it.
holy overreaction batman.
Compression test will take approximately 20 minutes for cyl 8. If its zip or anything near, you know you'll have a bigger issue. Then you can do a leak down to see if you are getting leakage into the crankcase, the coolant, the valves, etc.
Diagnose the problem before you get all bent outta shape.

Hope this helps. Like many of the others, I still think you should stick with the E55.
Good luck bro!

What is the big deal about posting how much the TTM injectors and fuel rail costs?
Is it some secret?
I can't see their website and I would hope that many people, like myself, that order parts etc. online, a website would serve best.
Can someone please post the cost if the TTM fuel rail and injectors combo?

You're going to basically give it away if you sell it the way it sets. Have the cylinder scoped and just replace the bad piston if the cyl wall looks good. You may not have valve/head damage and get away with a quick fix.
Sorry if any of the above contradicts earlier facts that may have been posted, as I admit I've not read all 10 pages of posts.

Selling the car "as-is" makes no sense.....
You'd have to practically give the car away to find someone willing to spend $10,000+ in repairs to get it running again. Otherwise, why would anyone be motivated to even bother. It's easier and smarter to just buy an original, undamaged car than to start off with such an enormous, expensive headache.
Think it through... For what you'll get for this car, you won't be buying anything "awesome" to replace it... Certainly not anything faster or nicer.
It may cost you $10K to get this car running again, but you will surely lose a lot more than that by having a "fire sale" and selling off a broken car.
Take a deep breath, get a professional assessment of the damage and put your plan together from there. It sounds like you are letting your emotions take control of you right now.

Low miles, clean car, for the right price slapping an engine in there is at most a one day job. Someone could flip it and make some easy money.
On that note PM me a price for the car.

Bummer Johncy. :-( Wish you all the best of luck. Id say find a good mechanic capable of fixing it. Just replaced crank position sensor on mine by capable drag mechanic, 100 bucks, plus cost of part. Dealership would've banged me for $115/hour and 3 hours labor. =:-O Im not in that league, neither in the habit of paying full price for anything.

Beware of a 5.5 engine from a S class as it will require additional work to swop the oil pan and pump out of your engine to make it fit the E55 chassis.
