I want to fit a ISF 5.0 V8 in a Hotrod,would ther be problems with the electrics and getting the ecu to work , is ther any one in the uk that can sort it out

[giblet]

Interesting idea, your best bet is to speak with SRD - https://www.srdtuning.com/

They did a fair bit of work on a ISF owned by a chap on the Lexus Owners Forum including fitting a supercharger kit from RR Racing so they would probably be best placed to advise you

I'd imagine the USA forums would be the best place to ask a question like this. They have a hot rod culture and no doubt someone has already done it over there. Can I ask why you would use an ISF engine? Do you just happen to have one available? An LS crate engine or a Hemi would be the easiest way to do it surely?

The ISF is really underrated. Would rather have that than any of the cliche M cars and AMGs. Pity it never came with a manual. An ISF manual would be as near as you can get to a perfect petrolhead daily driver. V8, power , luxurious, practical, ultra reliable and good looking.

If only they did an estate version, that would be dream car material

Plus, if they used the same or similar manual 'box from the IS250, it wouldn't be worth having.

What's wrong with it?

Pretty forgettable to use from what I've heard and also somehow pushes the tax into the higher bracket. It's why most people opt for the auto instead.

Im under the same thoughts! The ISF is exactly what im after but its making sure I would use the car!

Cant beat it for the perfect all round car!

Lovely Mica Blue one for sale:

Same trader also has a rarer (and thus even cooler) GS-F in Hitman Black


Clicky Linky

These are the sort of things I would buy with Lottery money, not Lamborghini’s!

ISF's have rocketed in price since lockdown, ridiculous prices now IMO.

Like the look of that GSF, think only 250 odd were registered in this country,.

[giblet]

I really want a GSF at some point. Keep seeing one local to me and it’s superb. Chap up the road from me had a ISF then a RCF and now a LC500, impeccable taste

Wow. I was looking at ISF about 18 months ago and most were around £12k with high mileage (120k plus) £9k ish. Doubled now!!!

LC500 is superb looking, I would be hanging around his driveway for uncomfortably long periods

It was his ISF that inspired me to get my first one a few years back, was the only one I’d ever seen on the road. Agree on the LC500 styling, looks lovely

Lot less than that, about 70 give or take a few. Great car, safe place to put your money I would say.
