V8 possible? Options

[yellowchinaman]

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?

There is an easier way of doing this. A 1mz-e153 sitting on the front wheels and another 1mz-e153 sitting on the back wheels. It would be 4 wheel drive and it'd be badass

Its easy if you think about it, you just gotta weld a front subframe into the rear of the car and bolt another engine in there.

It would probably be easier than swapping in a V-8

Aside from poor power to weight ratio, traction and timing.
