Double overhead cammed aluminum V8.
Why? Why not? Ebay link with details just seems to be an interesting, smooth running engine with decent power to weight, and it spins fairly high (6200 RPM's) fun applications http://1uzfe.com/rick.htm http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=9434.40 |

Since Toyota(Lexas) is going to NASCAR and that there is a good chance General Motors will partnership/get bought by Toyota, seems like a decent choice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Seriously, biggest problem you'll encounter is that no kit exists, the 2 cars that Bob mentions seem to be funded by people with deep pockets so the lack of adapter plates or engine mounts are trivial if you have the resources for it... |
