You find a better engine than a Toyota 22RE you let me know, OK? 2.4

The Japanese are not innovaters--they are duplicator's---so X out any
thing they have to offer in engine's, because they are using someone
else's technology--they just change the look of it---
The land of the rising sun, and the european's have no idea what cubes +
HP is all about.
Yea they make some good engine's, � � � � ( what?) but most of
them are all rpm, and zero grunt. ( not all of them, taking in to
account the excellent BMW ETA 6 )
426 cubes?
426 horse's?
I am not aware of any road worthy, available to the public, standard
import that cranks out as much horspower as it's displacement.
How about the new Chevy 6?
Dual overhead cams, twin turbos, and making 485 hp.
And I'll bet the parts when required for this engine won't cost a left

Very similar to any american 4,6 8 or what ever----cheap to maintain,
lots of gotain.
Get real Andrew---take off the VW blinder's--

So use a REAL engine. A big Japanese or Euro V8. Something which
actually uses technology.
