    LS460 Engine

    Shitty Brakes

    i doubt springs is really the problem, since they only hold the chassis off the wheels. shocks are really the major piece, they control the movement of the wheels as you go over bumps and the weight transfer from front to back. push on each corner of the vehicle. if is gives very easily, then a...

    Propane Injection

    propane won't do a very good job at cooling an air charge because it's boiling point is much lower than ambient temp. that is why it always comes out as a gas in propane stoves and other such applications. I really doubt that propane will be of much help cooling anything in an engine. the...

    Where can I get a tiny V8

    not that i know of. there isn't any point in making a production V8 much smaller than 3.6L, the old Ferrari V8. but you can get Cosworth Indy Car V8s that are around 3L, give or take. but they don't come cheap.

    Carlisle Kit Car Show

    it has a pushrod actuated rear suspension. nice little bit of engineering. i think the Enzo and the MC12 use a rear suspension very similar to that.

    2007 5.7 Tundra Motor

    i think a C5.R block is around 8K. so that isn't really worth it unless you have some cash burning a hole in your wallet.

    I Have Strange Ideas

    what is a "dizzy"? distributor? you probably can, since i have heard of people using carbs on UZs, and it would be pointless to change the ignition system. try a search on carb swaps, you might come up with something.

    Bullrun

    that wasn't the Bullrun. the Bullrun is a bunch(about 50) rich guys(like the kid who played Anakin Skywalker in the last two starwars movies) in Ferraris and Ultimas and all kinds of other exotics, driving some 5000 from NY to LA. with parties every night along the route.(may not be entirely...

    How well can you make the SC400 handle?

    you could always try to find an adjustable front Anti-roll Bar. it may be that the stock setting is too stiff and makes the fronts break away too soon. or course, it could be any number of things relating to the suspension. you said the rears are sticky, what are the fronts then?

    =crankshaft Modifications=

    not according to their catalog. but I've never called them, so I guess i wouldn't really know. it is really interesting what they do to the crank to make it lighter during production.

    David Vs. Goliath

    Crower makes custom rotating assemblies with lightweight parts. there are also places where you can get custom billet aluminum and titanium rods, I-beam style.

    =crankshaft Modifications=

    Crower does some really nice light weight rotating assemblies, but i don't think they don some of the stuff like Castillo does.

    75lb seats

    you can put in some Bride or Sparco reclining seats. they look a bit like racing seats, but not much.

    Turbo Q45

    a T-72? thats huge. i wouldn't be spurised if you had monster lag with that. and even with increased displacement you will have a lot of lag. what is the HP figure you are looking for? 700+?

    Best Of Uzfe Mix-n-match

    it seems to me that 3US head on a 1UZ block would be a bad idea. the increase in displacement is likely from increasing the bore, which means the valves might be bigger, making a fitment problem.

    Turbo Q45

    how will he overheat the engine? the turbo won't block airflow to the radiator. it might block airflow out of the radiator, but...... please specify.

    Portiing the heads for performance....

    you shouldn't have to. resurfacing means you(or someone else) has overheated the engine in the past and warped the heads, or you want higher compression. you might have to replace the head bolts and head gasket, i can't think of anything more than that.
