i hate rotaries in toyota's, i swear i'm going to take a mint ass first gen rx7 and put a 22re in it just to piss everyone off. Rotaries blow up, toyota motors don't!!! and yes i was being sarcastic. heheheh

if it was mine i would do something cool and old school!!!
like
2tg/3tg
3tgte
18rg
or something to that effect. although none of theose motors were available in the U.S. or the always good 4age. fuel injected or a set of webers. a 20v would be hot also.

why does everyone like doing that? i mean lets ruin great cars by putting a crappy american getterdun V8 into it. why would u ruin a Jaguar, or a 240/260/280z, or any other car for that matter. its not worth it to me. the desgin and build execution of even todays american cars isn't on par with japanese cars of 10 years ago.
