V8 possible? Options

[yellowchinaman]

The problem with our ST205 is that the flat 4 is mounted horizontally.
Ive heard of v6 implants but is it possible to do a V8?
Think about it. Its about the same length as a straight 4, being 4 and 4 cyliners parallel just much wider meaning when mounted sideways, its fuller towards the fire wall and rad.
So if so I could imagine relocating the rad further beyond the slam panel and it could work.
Now what V8 made by toyota that can mate up with the E145 gearbox?

No doubt. But whats wrong with that? Its an open forum for open discussions. People talk about ideas all the time but it doesnt mean people have to go through with the ideas. If I needed a business consultant, I would turn to a consultant.
If this was something I am to do, it certainly wouldn't be an investment or irresponsible for me to use my own resorces in my own time at my own costs because at the end of the day I pay for my own materials, parts and labour.
Remember this is a discussion and a hobbie. It could take a few years to do or it may never happen at all. But hey, this is a discussion of ideas and so what if it never happens?
Did you know that 10 years ago people only dreamed of production cars being able to reach 200mph? The first Bugatti Vayron was built at a loss never to profit but to prove a point?
Im not on a crusade here to prove a point nor am I looking to get into the history books but I do have questions which Id like answers to and there's nothing wrong with asking.

Sorry, I missed that one as you also missed the 200 MPH barrier by a couple decades. Let me introduce to you the Ferrari F40, back from the future of 1987.
