Please do not message me with any questions as I cannot reply. I know nothing about cars.

This is in the parts section for some unfathomable reason.  Has been fitted with a later DI engine, but when the alternative is a York that probably isn't a bad thing.

So, correct me if I'm wrong. But someone has taken a 4.0 V8 and auto box out of a big 4 door saloon and transplanted it into another slightly smaller 4 door saloon . Ok bolting a turbo to it will have made it faster , but why not just bolt a turbo to it in the Lexus and save hours of fucking about?

I could see the point if it was a manual in an MX5 or something , maybe I'm just getting old.

I could see the point of swapping in a Chevy V8 which has power enough because it is big enough but all that dicking about with electronics and turbines - why bother when you can buy modern cars that have all of that joyless complexity?

 

Yep, I'm old too.

Yes but that's not a new thing, people have been putting V8s in Volvos for years , not to mention mental powered Volvo 740 Turbo engines . Surely putting a big turbo on a JRG GS430 would make for an even bigger 'sleeper'.

As I say, I'm just getting old and ( more) contrary.
