The problem with our ST205 is that the flat 4 is mounted horizontally.
Ive heard of v6 implants but is it possible to do a V8? Think about it. Its about the same length as a straight 4, being 4 and 4 cyliners parallel just much wider meaning when mounted sideways, its fuller towards the fire wall and rad. So if so I could imagine relocating the rad further beyond the slam panel and it could work. Now what V8 made by toyota that can mate up with the E145 gearbox?

great so the 1UZFE is too big.
Can the 1MZ-FE fit sideways then? Why V8? I've always wanted a V8 thats why.

If you want something thats going to bolt up... get a new chassis. Anything can be done, but lots of time and effort. -------------------- -93 Rx7, Turbo 6.1L v8, 725rwhp/760rwtq

I intend on making a new subframe and chopping the chassis to make this fit anyway. As long as it sits within the two top mounts and I can still retain the GT4 gearbox then I think it's do-able. GT-205 sounds good but would rather have a V8 if I can fit it instead of a V6. |

Doublt you'll find an engine to fit and bolt up to the FWD transmission. Like I said though the steering rack is the real killer on this car. -------------------- -93 Rx7, Turbo 6.1L v8, 725rwhp/760rwtq
