Fri, 28 May 2004 03:00 CLASSIC NOT PLASTIC (Two thoroughbred classics in superb original condition... or are they?) Sacrilegious is the first word that comes to mind, but let's look at it rationally. If you have a Toyota 2000GT (one of the rarest and most valuable Japaneses sports cars) and you want to drive it regularly, you're in trouble. Parts for the twin cam two-litre six are non-existent, ditto the fragile manual transmission. Reliability was never impressive on this car, let alone 33 years after it was built. A high power engine is out of the question, as the chassis hasn't got the torsional rigidity to cope, so what can you do? C&Y Sports, masters of the weird engine swap, came up with an interesting answer. They picked up a 2JZ-GE (as used in the non-turbo Supra) with an automatic gearbox. An engine like this is worth about $500 in Japan, so there is no question about reliability. If it breaks you can just get another one. The 2JZ-GE is a very smooth, torquey engine with quite a sporty top-end output of 230ps, compared to 160ps for the original two-litre (and that was an SAE rating, so it's more like 140ps). The old diff is not exactly up to hard gear-changes, so an automatic is quit a reasonable choice. We chose not too ask about the age of the owner. In any case, the lucky gent now has a 2000GT that goes better than the original, starts first go, is perfectly reliable and has service intervals of 20,000km... no - it's still sacrilegious.
