I need some help in determining what engine to drop into the old girl. I originally had my heart set on the 1uzfe v8 but the engineer i spoke to (IM IN NSW) told me i'd need to do a heap of chassis strenghtening and suspension tweaks as well as brakes etc to get it passed. I dont want to go the 4agte route as Yogi lives in my town and its a bit hard to compete with that. the 3tgte is a little old in the tooth, the 3sgte i have heard is not the easiest otor to get good power out of. So it got me thinking about my options as it seems ive exhausted my toyota options. The sr20det black rocker cover version seems alright to me it is relatively modern, has stacks of aftermarket bolt on goodies and options. the 2 lt turbo would cause me less hasle with the engineers as a brake upgrade is all that required by them.
My question is has anyone done this or know someone who has or where some info is on this conversion. Any info regarding pros and cons of this conversion would be appreciated.
