These are the guys that make all the adapters. http://www.kennedyeng.com/

Definitely let everybody know how that turns out for you. I really like the nice flat torque curve the 1UZ has. The one thing that scares me is I'm computer stupid and making the ecu work scares me. Standalones scare me more. My other consideration is how much power my 3-rib bus box can take. I...

The guy with the S2000 wanted $4k for the engine and ecu. The Honda J30A1(200hp/195tq), J30A4(240hp/212tq), J32A1(225hp), J32A2(260hp/232tq) engines show promise. It's still not a V8 though. I'm getting the suspension sorted on the car right now. Then after some shakedown trips and getting...

The old Fold Taurus fans pull a lot of cfm if my memory serves me correctly.

I found an Australian site that had race engines with ITB's and they listed the weight at 330lbs. Kennedy just says "Lexus V8", I still have to call and confirm, but I think it will work. Fitting it won't be an issue as it will be hanging off the rear. I will just have to do a different...

Looking at doing an engine conversion in my Baja Bug as a summer project in Phoenix when it gets to hot to drive it. Found out that it's actually a pretty light motor for what it is and can make killer power. Everybody and their brother has an LS engine. Heck I have one in my Gto, lol. I can...
