Aw now Dick, you done hurt mah feelin's, you weren't listening. That Toyota
V-8 hemi is called a 4V, it is an all aluminum pushrod V-8. It is a little
bit bigger than 2 liters. They were not exported to the US, they came in a
Japan only car called a Crown, about the size of a '68 Buick Wildcat. They
were backed by an automatic transmission and I still have most of mine in the
garage and have most of the pieces of an overhaul gasket set I got with it.
A business associate sold it to me complete with the transmission for $350
but this was in '85, at that time I could have gotten as many as I wanted
with tranny for that price. I can tell you a lot about one of these engines
if you are interested in them. All 4V's came with a 4 barrel carb, if it has
injection then this is a 4VE. The 4V family has been out of production for a
while but I might still be able to get ahold of some. Just FYI.
