LS7 and/or LS9 in everything! A bit of irony from Jeff's statement, since this car is kind of a cross-bred bastard to begin with.

Besides, Hot Rodders have been doing crazy cross-brand engine swaps since the beginning of automotive time.

The only time engine swaps don't happen is when you have a truly incredible engine already in a desirable chassis.

EJ series with an STI 6spd RWD conversion anyone?

The 2GR-FSE would be great to see... I bet it would sound sweet with a v6 as well. I wonder if Toyota would sell just the body for you to build it like the American car manufacturers do.

Money no object? High winding destroked LS3. Because high RPM is fun, but I'd still want the motor to stay together and make decent power.

I like the way you think :O
Off topic, how hard is it to get the valvetrain on these pushrod motors to cooperate with high revs?

Not too hard, I think. Given all the trickle-down NASCAR tech and all the Circle Track and Drag Racing community, they get a lot of development. (For example they already have aftermarket powder-metal forged rods available, I believe. And not the crap sintered ones.)

I get envious looking at the pricing these domestic V8 guys get on their parts, plus the options they have (especially the SBC...).

The bellhousing bolt pattern is different unfortunately. If I had to guess, since they were making a new casting for the FA20 blocks they probably used the existing Toyota bellhousing pattern for the AY6 to save money (no new transmission castings). On the plus side, that means that a 2gr-fse should bolt right up (to the transmission at least).

Huh? Powder Metal = Sintered.

I know its awsome

, but money no problem and if i could make it fit RB26 NUR pushing 900+ hp to the wheels, maybe even put awd for traction

Powder metallurgy has advanced beyond just sintering. They can fully forge it. And certain 3d metal 'printing' can fully fuse as well, rather than sintering.
