The story

History: facts, each with its source

Wikipedia describes the M family as Toyota's lengthwise inline six from the 1960s to the 1990s. It moved from a single chain-driven cam to twin cams driven by a belt after 1980. The 5M-GE made its US debut in the 1982 Celica Supra, and the 7M-GE and turbo 7M-GTE powered the 1986 to 1992 Supra.¹

The 7M-GTE was Toyota's top performance engine until the JZ engines replaced it.¹

• Block and head: Cast-iron block, aluminium head¹
