hi all!!
well am new here, and am here couz am planing on fitting a Lexus V8 to my little truck
now the interesting thing is that the truck is basses on the Mazda B-series, however it was sold in SA as a Ford as well!!
have a had a look at the traditional V8s(Ford & Chev) often used for such transplants, however most would involve some cutting and bending of body and firewalls............, the Lexus V8 fits right in with out even having to move the radiator
why do I need all that extra power???
we go away a few times a year, average 4 times a year, and we tow a traylor of around 2 tons with 3 big quads, and ALL our camping equipment!!
some of the places that we go to, we need the 4x4 to tow the traylor over the dunes to get to the destination
plan is to keep the original gearbox(5-speed), with a specially cast Bellhousing, clutch and flywheel
one of the reason for keeping my gearbox, is the 4X4 and transfer case set up!!
so will be asking many questions and for that matter many dumb questions!!
