Will have to get a tape measure into the bay of a hilux, dont suppose you have measurements for the width? (other directions shouldnt be a problem but would make it more of a project than i want if it doesnt fit between the struts)

What about the Rover V8 in the Range Rover - certainly will have the desired sound (unless you are deaf!)
I have a friend who could provide you an engine for almost bugger all.

To be honest Chip - manual 540s are not that rare - usually cheapest as well as people generally want an auto
Click
I think there were more E34 540 manuals than later E39s if you can go for a 5-series V8?
There's usually one on Ebay most weeks, sometimes 2, as I often ponder buying one as a runaround

Would be great if it was crashed into before he sold it, perhaps I should pop round to view it and be careless with an old car, LOL

Fair play...I don't think you will see them much cheaper than about £500 for a complete car though.........I've been watching them for ages.
Good luck though!

Benefit of Supra engine is that it is Toyota to toyota - massively increases likelyhood of some cross compatibilty - and you could go for the turbo one!!!!!

I dont think being the same make is going to help out in terms of things fitting, im planning on running it rwd anyway so wouldnt even be trying to use the hilux gearbox (most hilux are 4wd and the 2wd box isnt exactly inspiring anyway)
If I went for a supra motor I would go N/A I expect, im not actually looking for 500bhp or anything like that, anything much over 200bhp that can take a decent dose of gas would be fine.
