Bubs did a few if I remember, there was a massive thread here on it.

fair wack of work and worse if you cant fabricate, and wire shit yourself.

Then if you want it registered, Engineering.. which is where you should start.

But wouldnt you ask all this before you rush out and buy the engine to see how hard/easy/if possible this conversion would be?
then go out and buy an engine suitable... from some of the questions, you sound like you dont know where to start.

Not trying to be a smartass, But why bother with a toyo engine in a gq?
You want v8 put a 5 litre or chevy in,been done a million times and cheap.

On a side note, Why dont gq owners put the 4.8 gu as a transplant??

[MyGQ]

I would like to put a 4.8 into my GQ but i dunno if i could get it as a manual as all the 4.8's are auto's and i doubt there is a bellhousing that fits it out there without getting a custom made one.

I would rather a 5.7L or 6.2L Chevy engine in it than a Toyota engine, they are so fuel hungry compared to the 5.7L.

you sure about that..my mate had a loan of a 4.8 and I recall it being a manual. Went like the clappers. Was only in the vehicle on the one occassion and that was the recollection.

Maybe all the latest ones have been auto by choice

4.8 actually bolt up to GQ box's with petrol bell housings.

but to the guy that bought the soarer motor it will be shit in a GQ as they have hardly any torque in the motor for all the effort involved just do a chev if you want a v8.

I'd like a 4.8 in my Maverick... but I reckon that when the day comes that I want to fork out enough money for that, I'll just get a GU.

[bj on roids]

bubs has done a few, there is a couple running arounf brisbane that i know of, perhaps 4 or 5, the cheapest adapter by far is what i did, no need for custom shafts or anything, search my members thread...

bubs could probably copy my adapter for you for a few hundred, if you are prepared to wait a few weeks.

I'd still go the VH45 before a chev.. Bubs said that the Soarer donk went well when he had done it...

now thats the shizz !

perfectly said.

but with less issues the GU 4.5 is an easier option.

the 4.8 needs box change and is a little more complicated. yes it can be done but its just more time involved. Buy a GU..

I have 1UZ in front of a 4.2 manual transmision.

Made the adaptor myself (pretty easy) and currently working on a flywheel and clutch.

Last time I did a fuel consupmtion check I was using 17litres per hundred at 120kmh on a round trip Sydney/Canberra.

The engines go well, are cheap and just a that little bit more advanced than pushrod engines.

[Tiny]

why not the nissan infinity V8 twin turbo the sucker, whos ya daddy has one, havnt seen it in the flech yet but pics and stories sound awsome

[zuffen]

Why would you use one?

litre for litre dollar for dollar the lexus will eat it every day.

There is almost no aftermarket support for the V series.

[Zac Zec]

How much power does this soarer v8 engine have. Hopefully heaps for the trouble.

[bj on roids]

the 1uz has a lot more support, is cheaper and more readily available, there is also a couple of VH series types, they are a bit untested at the moment.

[zuffen]

Out of the box any 1uZ has a minimum of (a genuine) 230hp and up to 260hp.

300hp is pretty easy to find and they rev until tomorrow.

Check this link for how they sound when Guts drives one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQbe4gX6H6Y

His engine is a standard Soarer engine out of a wreck.
