Just found out about this engine for anyone that doesn't know it's a 5 liter V12 from a toyota century. So I looked and there's actually one for sale on ebay for $4500 and was wondering if it was even possible to fit it in a 240. I myself would not try doing it just thought it would be pretty cool to have a v12 in an s chassis.

Maybe with the firewall being cut. But I think it'd be a useless swap lol. But I do remember a guy on one of the supra forums trying to fit one I'n an mk3. Dunno if he was successful or not though

not much point in spending 4500 on a 5L v12 and then have to spend a ton of money making it fit, when you can get a 6L v8 completely installed and running for 10k total

I toyed around with this idea for a little bit. When i was researching this motor/swap it turns out someone already has done it in a 240sx.

it's the white s13 coupe.
