Anybody that would put a piece of jap crap Toyto motor in
a perfectly good Chevelle must be on CRACK.I read in Gm
hight tech performance that it takes $13,000 dollars to
make a 2000 pound peice of jap tinfoil run in th low 12,'s.I
have seen some toyota engines before and they are a joke.
They would have anough trouble handling the meager
horsepower they make stock. Ialso saw something about
these stupid import cars an a tv show once and these guys
had 11 secondcars but had to get a new motor after every
couple .races.If your set on a turbo small displacement
motor you would be 1000 times better of with a Turbo Buick
motor

Go for it. I like something different. I'm tired of 350s. I
dislike computer controlled Jap crap due to my inability to
figure them out, but do what you want. I'll never buy it, but
I'll look at it in a show or at the strip.




Does this thing run yet and can I see it? Awesome concept.

Because it was a rusted out shitbox with a straight six...ie no collector value. Why not, it is different and the guy is making something unique, rare in the world of those cars. How many times did I read about "jap crap" and how they couldn't figure it out. Technophobes, they fear what they do not understand. I give mad props to this guy and hope it is complete by now.

If you read what I put in his sig book, i gave him props for the concept. It just makes as much sense to me as someone stuffing a V-8 in a Civic.

Whatever floats your boat...
