Carbbed 1UZ?

why dont you track down one of those old toyota crown V8s? the engine is pretty much a copy of a hemi with smaller capacity- 3.5 - 4 litres.
they sound pretty good and i dont think anyone has messed with em much, even though you can still use all the hemi bolt ons- thatd be interesting.

p.s there are NO ignition only ecus. haltech made a 1g/3/4/5 but they stopped a while ago. Only thing you can do it get a full on ecu and just not use the fuel side of it.

What years where the thos V8's in crowns? I thought the older crowns used the M series and some the R's...

Where they aussie delivered or a JDM only? Sounds really interesting... 351 or a Hemi was my fall back

depending on the capacity, late 60's, right up to just after the 1UZ came out(late 80's)

the biggest model, the 4 litre 5V-EU, only produced about 160hp.

Microtech are/were planning on releasing one to cater for the LPG market.

What stage this is up to, I don't know, and from memory it was only ~$150ish cheaper than the full LT8S
