As I mentioned in the first post the 2JZ shows up just about everywhere the LS isn’t (and on occasion where it used to be) usually accompanied by a big single instead of the factory twins.
I guess the lure of a motor that can handle piles of boost on a stock bottom end, without exploding, is hard to resist.
To make up for the complete lack of Gulf Livery in the last Theme Tuesday post here’s someThe livery carries through under hood and I imagine abomination is probably on the nice scale of things classic Mustang owners would call this car – More Info on engineswapdepot.comIf you’re not a fan of Gulf Livery (though you probably are) here’s a solid colored exampleThis particular Stang was built by Chris Threadgill and made 443whp on 15psi – Photos via the hilariously titled tumblr Flicktitty
Early Mustangs are not the only ones to get Toyota power, how about a sly fox?Show quality engine bay in what is certainly no show car
This motor was originally in a Soarer before the owner realized that a Corvette was lighter and therefore a better quarter milerPersonally I like the lines of C3 Corvettes so I’m not mad about this at allTake a beat down mk1 Escort wagon, knock the bondo out, install flares and you get thisThen to really make it go add a 2J, this build is ongoing so you can follow it hereIn a complete switch of gears lets take a trip to South Africa and look at an unassuming LadaWith a quality shoe horn one can fit anything into anything – More Info on engineswapdepot.comonce againThis jag is perhaps the classiest car in this entire post……and of course – More info here on Crossbreed NationThis chopped and shortened 1950 Ford was for sale in New Jersey earlier this yearThe most utilitarian of the 2J swaps in this post
Dirty Love built this awesome flared 2JZ s10 for one reason, going sideways
After including the Jag above it would be a shame not to include this one, despite being in other motor swap based Theme TuesdaysWonder if it’s still for sale?This car was sitting outside Fitted Lifestyle, I’ve never seen it again howeverCimon‘s s13 was the best engine winner at Fitted 2016NVAutos 2JZ Subaru has been on a real successful run this year piloted by Riley Sexsmith
Known as ‘The Mutt’ this Plymouth Valiant is what lead to this entire postIt runs and astonishing 8.60’s at 156mph, and it was apparently a streetable car not all that long agoIt’s currently for sale now if you’ve got 25k
Got a motor that rivals the 2JZ or LS in versatility and durability? Let me know and I’ll see about doing a Theme Tuesday dedicated to it… cummins perhaps?
Cummins would be nice 🙂
scandinavian guys are putting Mercedes straight six diesel engines like OM606 and OM603 into almost everything – cars, boats, trucks, vans etc. For example this Datsun 240z 😀
