Anyways this is best left to a Supra Motor bay.

V8 = HORRIBLE swap candidate

things to consider

cost
power:weight ratio
weight BALANCE
ect.

you can achieve the same thing using the V6 but with less cons

but hey if you want a car that handles and is balanced like crap thats up to you!

Topic moved to the correct section.

------------------------------------

My V6 is already a very tight fit. I would assume that some serious custom work would need to be done, which = lots of money. Hopefully soon i'll get some detailed pictures up of the engine bay and you can see what i mean.

Please explain? The V6 weighs only a little more than the 5sfe, and less than the 3sgte.
