Well, I didn't see that one coming

I mean, sure a drag build 86 isn’t unheard of. Its the engine swap thats perplexing

Its an 1800 hp 1FZ-FE. I.e. Toyota Land Cruiser I6. its massively heavy but known to make reliable power when built up. Still...weird.

It doesn’t like to rev, but I guess if you build it out a little and de-stroke it to 4 liters it packs a pretty healthy punch.

I read the title and tried to mentally list engines it would be surprising to have and this didn’t make the list.

too expected, or too out of left field.

I want to do something like this, but with a hot rod and a build 4.0 AMC. There’s something very cool about V8 sized straight sixes.

They are cool choices, but strange.

I mean good luck getting the AMC 4.0 to like being above 5000 rpm...

That someone fit an engine that tall in a bay intended for a boxer four boggles the mind.

exactly, for how tall a block it is an long...its crazy.

Yeah realistically that’d be a job for a Stroker M30B35, the 4.0 belongs in my friends’ Jeeps, lumbering up ludicrous inclines at 2k RPM

Too expected. I see so many dragsters with Land Cruiser I6's. /s

Thats what I was thinking. Though the bore on these engines are pretty close (98.4 vs 100 mm) if you de-stroked it down to 3.8-3.5 liters you could probably get some speed out of it. I think the non-crossflow head and pushrod valvetrain would give you the most troubles.

It’s a lot easier when ground clearance isn’t an issue,I bet the pan is like a 1/2 inch is the ground

I think Titan motorsports even lists something very similar on their site.

...huh. My truck is so god damn slow, I can’t imagine driving one and thinking ‘yeah, this is the engine I need to drag race.’ But hey, if it’ll take the power I’m not arguing.

The block and general layout is so stout that you can literally just chuck boost at it and it will hold up. Not particularly sexy until you build it up.

ITS YUUUUUUUGE

Just keep adding bigger and bigger turbos until you get where you want to be. That’s a pretty good way to do business.

I thought when you said that you didnt see it coming, you were making a joke about the blacked out headlights and not being able to see anything because of it.

I’ve wanted to put one of those 4.2L I6s out of an Chevy Trailblazer or GMC Envoy into something old and American - maybe a ‘53 Chevy or a box Nova? - for a long time now.

That’s dumb, though. Very dumb. Your idea is better.

Maybe if I get REALLY lucky some day, my wallet will catch up with my ideas. Until then? There is Oppo.

It’s not the bottom end of them that offers the challenge, like you said it is the valve train. I’ve always wanted to undersize a turbo for a 4.0 and see the low end torque I could get out of it.

But the 1FZ is dimensionally within an inch or two of a 5.9 Cummins... With the turbo on the Cummins.
