Except it would take a whole helluva lot more to put it in that chassis vs the big body Benz. You could more easily convert what you have and go nutz

400hp SR GC8 would be more fun, or maybe an LS.

[revel]

GC8 can already make 400whp+ with current motor, but that motor sucks ass to work on and trackside stuff would be a nightmare not to mention I still have a strong want to convert it to RWD and go have fun.

Isn't there a GC with a 1jz in europe somehwere?

[Greg]

yeah, RWD SR=a blast.

Yes, but you will have to cut out the firewall and use the valve cover as an armrest. The again we can start another thread to discuss

[foilman]

Have you inspected those factory engine mount isolators? They look very similar to mine (SLK) and they are extremely soft and compliant even when brand new. Might need re-engineered for drift duty.
