I don't know what made him want to swap to another motor but he's running a built, twin-turbo lexus 4.0L V8. Its the 1UZ-FE which is the precursor of the 5.3L, 500hp n/a V8 they are currently using to power the Soarer's in Super GT. These motors are able to make 1000hp+ on pump gas at only 20psi. Its been video documented check the second video. These motors are cheap as shit, strong as hell, able to withstand abuse, are getting a good aftermarket, lighter and shorter than 2JZ-GTE's and make more power. And they'll rev to over 11,000 RPM. :rock:

The video immediately below is of the Ferrari F-40 running a road course. Listen to the engine sound and it's note. Doesn't sound much different than a Ferrari V12.

This video below is an engine dyno of a built, twin turbo 1UZ-FE tuned with an Autronic SM4 that makes over 1,000hp on pump gas. Good shit.

He built the car from the ground up and probbably didn't feel like shelling out a life savings to have less-than or equal-to performace as a Lexus V8.. Probably want to make some real horsepower, and thats what he's doing with that high redline, race gas and nice-sized twins.

I'd say that car's making anywhere from 850-1000 RWHP on pump gas and God knows how much on race...

Here's the V12, it's not exactly fair since someone put a couple turbo's on it...

sorry to bring this back from the dead, but this car was brought up on Ferrarichat so I thought i'd share.

Car is not an f40, merely a kit car which uses the toyota motor.
BTW, it's fast as nuts.
Only 3 were built and the guy wont make anymore.
