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?

The 1MZ would be the easiest to go with, as it's been done a few times already. I think it'd be good for the GT-Four, would remove a lot of weight from the front of the car. As far as which would make the most power logic dictates that it would be the 2GR. The 3MZ doesn't make much more power than the 1MZ stock vs stock. I wouldn't think it'd be worth the extra headaches for the extra 20-30 hp. I want to say Smaay has a 1MZ/3MZ hybrid and is doing well with it, he could probably fill you in on all the details.
