comments
Here’s my newest acquisition: a 2005 Toyota 4Runner Limited in Titanium Metallic, with the 4.7L V8 and 4WD.

In 1986, a twin-turbo Buick nearly upset the V8 Pro Stock monsters

We’re talking 700 cubic-inch beasts making monster power. Yet Buddy Ingersoll rolled up to the starting line with a much smaller mill… and…

Ryan Tuerck is putting a Judd V10 in his GR Supra. The Formula Drift skid racer has the engine but he needs to make sure it’s in good working order. Who is the best team to take a look and tune a Judd engine? That would be the people who originally built it back in…

/
/
comments
Pro Drifter Ryan Tuerck made news when he swapped a 4.5-liter V8 engine from a Ferrari 458 into a Toyota GT86. Now he’s cooked up a far more interesting swap (though that other one was pretty rad too). Tuerck is taking the straight-six out of his A90 GR Supra and popping in something a bit…
