Re: Trinidad & Tobago V8 Car Club

Guys, one of my cars is a V8.
I realise the thread has more vintage US nostalgia, but my car is a JDM. It's a Toyota Celsior (Lexus LS400) with a 1UZ-FE engine and an A341E auto transmission.

Btw, I am also looking for a (free to almost free) damaged V8 engine block with no internals. Let me know if you can help me out.

Yes, I'm looking for any brand/model, a 1UZ-FE would be even better.

nigie can you give me the name of the place or a contact?

Wrt to the 1UZ-FE mods, yeah I see a lot of guys in US and Aussie mod their 1UZs, they range from small superchargers to big twin turbos.
