Default Toyota V6(s)

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone ha managed to squeeze one of the toyota v6's into a standard book chassis?

Im looking into the all alloy 1mz 3.0L or the older 3VZ with iron block, but would be keen to hear if anyone has any experience with this set up

Thanks
James

Nice unit but might be to tall. Stick a tape measure over one.

I had considered fitting one of these into my MR2.
Its a regular engine upgrade/conversion for the MR2 so probably better have a look of there forums for info.

There ment to be about 200bhp and bags of torque out the box so would be a nice drive.

thanks for the feed back guys
not to mention, they sound awesome
what would the max height be that i can have without a bonnet buldge? about the 600mm mark?
looking at the older 1mz's from the ES300's they have pressed steel sumps, so can shorten one of them for a bit better height, and itb's to get rid of that huge inlet manifold
