irsa76 Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Yeah I was thinking swapping it into my 720. I've ruled out an RB or JZ because of length. My mate's Toyota can "just" fit the 1JZ-GTE under the hood. Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 You talkin about the 5VZ? i got one of those in my ... 4runner :fu: superchargers are avail for 'em :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
Jtek Posted November 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Well turns out ls400 engine is no better than a cheapie 302 from an early 90s mustang, so the 1uz is out. So it's like I said, prolly end up using the 4ag as planned. Too bad I don't have 2G's for a 2uzfe from a 02+ tundra... Quote Link to comment
nismopu Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 no better eh? ha thats the funniest thing 3var, maybe Ford should engineer toyotas next v8. lol. peace. Quote Link to comment

nismopu Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Josh is under the impression that the 302 is the best performing small block but, in reality hes never driven any other ones. Maybe the monte carlos his mom has is all he is basing this off of I dont know. The monte carlos = pile of garbage 305 with out of tune quadra puke. All in all this argument could go on for years but the fact of the matter is Josh has all the 4age components to make this thing happen. I was excited about the fact that there might actually be a unique swap with a 510, but it doesnt look like its gonna happen :(. peace. Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 ..the 302 is the best performing small block but, in reality hes never driven any other ones. i had a boss302 in my 67 mustang, that was a blast!!! never driven the LS. just based on displacement, 5L beats 4L id think the modern 302 would easily smoke it :cool: id put the nissan Q45 in my datsun... if i wanted a V8 :eek: i coulda had a V-8 Quote Link to comment

DISLEXICDIME Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 i cant remember that was about a year ago it was a lot though Quote Link to comment
Jtek Posted November 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 thats why its slanted, sillys! As we've already discussed the 302=much much cheaper, easier to find, WIDEST aftermarket I know of and I've experienced it. YES you CAN make 220hp on a carb, YES even with an intake and little to zero aftermarket. 1uz is not the one I want. I want a 2uz which my work sells for $2000+. I'll type it again! Don't make me!! So I think the 305+q-jet>all? Is that correct? LOL!!!!!!!!!! Funniest thing ever. Much love for Mr. Kyle. *shoots self* Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 any common small block from the big 3 will be cheap and have a HUGE aftermarket. 302-351, 350, 318-360 someone needs to put a big block in a 510. 460, 454, 440 fuck that, HEMI or flathead Quote Link to comment

Jtek Posted November 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 I don't know domestic crap very well let alone carbs. I'll think of something to trade if the holly is plug-n-play. Don't want a repeat of the 620 before the KA. Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 cough cough... well it did run.. not long.. guess it would have helped if someone hadnt loosend the first 3 head bolts so loose that water spilled into the cylinders... now i gotta replace the head gasket and HOPE that it still works... if not... maybe new engine AGAIN lol.. or maybe just a head we'll see i guess.. anyways its my problem now :( Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 someone needs to put a big block in a 510. 460, 454, 440 Saw a 454 in a 240Z. You can't imagine just how HUGE those things are... :eek: And I certainly wouldn't say someone needs to do it... ;) Quote Link to comment
Jtek Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Mr. Lynch, I think you should leave the KA engines alone. They're all cursed. Ok so the 1uz is out, 302 is out and certainly anything for chevy/dodge is never in, so the only option is the 4age. Looks like its going to happen!! :D:D:D So excite! Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 yeah im starting to not be fond of ka's... lol.. i vote 4age for the 510.. since you already have it anyways.. an less mods Quote Link to comment
tnip Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 this is the car i was thinking of but couldn't remember enough details to find it. when you were thinking of the v8 and the issue with it fitting in the engine bay... Quote Link to comment
pope_face Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 What is that? I can't even really begin to imagine what it's based off of, other than that engine... While we're talking about stupidly large engines to fit in Datsuns, how about a Viper V10? Last I heard you could pick up a crate motor for some ten or twelve grand... I think something fun would be a Ferrari V12 in the bed of a 521 or 620... Especially if you stuck one of those fiberglass caps on the bed to hide it... Sort of off topic, but speaking of high performance cars, there's a gorgeous, white, (not so) little sports car in Vancouver... I think it's a Pantech, or some similar name... looks like an 80's Lamborghini. The thing is gorgeous... lower than the 521 and probably two feet wider... the rear tires looked like they were over a foot in width... Edit: Pantera! Pictures here... And I apologize for sending you to a Ford site... Apparently Ford imported them. But, it looks like the pictures on the right, but in white... sexy sexy beast... Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 there used to be a pic on the net i found on accident of a green 510 with a ferrari engine sitting in the bay Quote Link to comment
Jtek Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Info is too sketchy on v8 engines like what to use, how to build it, where to find the damn thing in the first place, so It's a for-sure thing being a 4age. Not really having doubts on the boosted portion, so we'll test it NA (no acceleration haha!) first and see where that goes. Who knows, that can be enough to have loads of fun. At least I feel we've all chosen a reliable engine to beat on :D:D Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 plus the 4ag is sitting next to the car ;) Quote Link to comment
