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?

Haha this is fun.


Really though anyone with real aspirations to do something will do it regardless of whether people are negative or not on a forum. I remember when I first joined quite a few people telling me a clutch differential is the worst thing ever... yet no one really knew what was the best for my application. Would have ended up with a clutch diff, but did AWD instead. Still wish I had clutch diffs in the front/rear.

On the other hand most people are just pipe dreams and people that have been around a while need to have it proven to them that the person is serious.
