Lexus V8

[mr clive]

Just a couple of questions:

I know its not an exact science but how much does the lexus V8 weigh?

What manual boxes will bolt to it without too much trouble?

Thanks

Not sure about the weight but I have seen one bolted to a MkIII supra box.

[Turbo T]

It will bolt upto a Supra V160 6 speed

Its 3kgs lighter than a 3sGTE if that helps.

Really? You wouldn't think that would you. Is it all alloy?

Would any of you very intelligent chaps know if it would be possible to convert the gs300 to a manual?

cheers

[stu_the_flat]

(there cheap to insure)

It sure is and has been tuned to unbelieveable power outputs.

How about 2700 bhp@ 50psi boost?? IIRC, the crank was standard! I want one!
