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?

i had a hybrid but it started spinning a bearing, so i swapped it out with a full on 3MZ. there is only 2 differences between the 1MZ and 3MZ block. .3L displacement is the big one. no EGR cooler on the 3MZ. and feed holes for VVT. the Heads are almost the same too. just a tad longer to support the VVT gear and the cam position sensors are moved. thats about it. Im running the 3MZ on 1MZ electronics so i have no VVT support. i have posted my Dyno and its way above what i was expecting. 240TQ and 220 HP.
