The Toyota 1UZ is the new Rover V8 :-) and it's far better.

Agree with that, and just happen to have one sat in my workshop Paid £600 for the whole car!

Is that the same as the Lexus lump, did the head gaskets on one a while ago , nice engine which I believe can be used with a Supra box?

Isn't that the same engine [Lexus sourced] that @Jaffman is using for the 'Flexus'?

Yes it is, mine was a 1996 Lexus LS400, and you can use it with a Supra box.

It is indeed.

Id stick with either a breathed on Ford lump, or Chevy V8. Mind it never hung about when my dad drove it
