My current V8 has now done over 270,000klms so I thought it was time my 4Runner got a new one :D

3 weeks ago I realised my digital camera took movies :D so for nostalgic purposes I took a few vids of the engine running before it's removed as the new one will be different and idle like a pussycat.

Click on the broken square in bottomm right corner of vid and turn sound up :D

My version of a Cobra GT40 :D

I'm currently building up a trick 347 stroker but the cam will be a lot milder as its a custom mpg cam although it will still be good for 300 plus horses at the wheels :D and with this injection etc.
