There is a reason for the auto I think. My friend was trying to explain why we are doing an auto ls400 swap but I don't remember.

Not that much work for 200............ The torque completely makes up for the 200hp.

I think the cars that I posted are running supra transmissions with a custom bell housing that is made in Australia.

1UZs are cheap, sound AMAZING, DOHC, torquey, and fun to drive.

Down in Aussie land it does.
Those crazies love the 1UZ and quite a few of them have S/C'ed SC4's.
They motor is much more popular of a platform down there than it is here.

No aftermarket?!?!?! Turbo is all you need for aftermarket haha. These things make great numbers when turboed.

This one is wild, but I think a twin t4 set would yeild some great numbers, and not too hard to rig up.
