Anyone guess what the basis for this next little project is?
Hint 1: 4 cams Hint 2: Twice the cylinders of the orginal motor Hint 3: Twice the displacement of the orginal 73 special edition. Attached image(s)

I was looking at a diesel, you know how popular they are becoming in big time racing.
Yes it is a 4cam 4.0 litre Lexus 1UZ V8. All aluminum, 6 bolt mains, four valve heads, lighter than the factory LS2 engine, about 20 times cheaper than the LS1 or Ls2. From what I have heard on the net shipped weight for this engine, with all the stuff on it was less than 400lbs. Try that witha small block. Rumor has there are a few blown drag cars running this engine making 2000+ hp on the stock block and crank. Obviously I am not looking for that but it is noce to know the potential is there. As soon as I finish the blue car this winter, I begine the next project. V8 monster, semi tube frame, dual a-arm, Sheridan Wide body kit, the whole 9 yards. Kinda like the CarreraGT Junior. |
