Hi Guy's, I'm new here, and joined the forum for information and advice for the engine swap I'm planning. The engine I plan to swap into a Toyota 86 is a
Phase 14 Toyota Nascar engine. For those that know little about this engine, it's a 358 ci V8, iron block, aluminum heads. 4.5" bore spacing. It'll make around 800 hp, and probably weights similar to an iron LS. It also has the Chevy bellhousing bolt pattern on the back. I'll likely put a T56 Magnum behind it, or one of the T101 based Nascar 4 speed dog boxes. I will be using EFI, and try to keep the CAN dash working.
So my questions: As I have the engine, but not the car yet. what is the typical crankshaft cL height from the bottom of the front suspension crossmember on an LS swap. Does that allow the T56 Magnum to fit in the tunnel with the factory reinforcement removed? I'm wondering about hood clearance? How much room is there from a bottom of the hood, to the bottom of the front crossmember? What has been done for custom hoods with more clearance?
