'78rollacoupe Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Has anyone done or know of a lexus v8 being thrown into a pre '80's corolla? reason for question is that those motors are not expensive & make good hp. I don't like cross breeding engine & body, so the lexus is perfect :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiahn Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 can be done with extensive firewall mods, you would nee the entire drivetrain from the donour car and ask oke20 about what problems he cam acros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Young has sold his original 1UZ AE86. I think it was painted out of its livery before it was sold. $16000 rings a bell? It sold for something around that. I believe he is working on another 1UZ powered drifter as we speak. Ultra low, and twin turbo. Its gonna be nuts.

mungi mods Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 biggest issue will be steering box and pitman arm clearances on a 70 the biggest issue is exhaust and weight balance, it will fit without firewall mods but its an extra 40 kg over the frontend bellhousings are available from A1 auto's in NZ to suit a w5* or r154 gearbox will not be able to register either ......................
