That engine looks good. I would remove all the Toyota stuff though to keep people guessing on what the engine is whenever the hood is up.

Very different, the thing is they have more than double the cost in that engine just to make 650hp

Still cool but I would have gone with the New Chevy NASCAR motor. But hey I didn't build it so

Rick - any idea what a new R07 costs? $80k I'm told...

Some cars you just don't do certain things to. And putting a Toyota engine into a Tri-5 is one of them. Those cars are such relics. I mean, swapping in an LS is one thing, but a Japanese engine is a whole 'nother ball game. Car is nice, but if I'm gonna spend $100-$125 like the asking price on that auction that Greg posted, it won't have a Toyota engine in it....sorry.
