Hi Guys and Girls.

May seam strange to you a guy from Manchester (UK) joining up here but there is a motive and a story which I will let you know about soon. but first a bit about me.

My name is Dann I am 24 from Manchester (UK) I drive a Mitsubishi GTO Twin turbo (you guys know it as the 3000gt) I also have a MKIV toyota supra show car. I am setting up a custom car building garage at moment and want to do a special project for my business. I am looking in to a dodge ram or a ford f150 lighting as my business truck nice big monster for image and good towing ablity.

I already own one of my dream cars the GTO I love it but since blowing the box last year I am now restoring it. So the supra came along to use as my daily drive modified it up to a show winning car and now want to do something special with it, a engine swap for a v8 the 2jz gte engine has been done to death over here.

Now my second dream car to own is a shelby gt500 eleanor I love the car love the v8 sound and the sheer grunt of the v8. So am thinking with your guys help I know the small block chevvys can fit so does the soarer 2uz v8 fits but thinking what about the big block shelby engine fit in to a mkiv supra. I would like one of you kind people to if you can measure the size of the engine length width height etc.

Now to be fair to you guys as I dont want to pri on your time with out anything in return if you want anything from over here in uk give us a shout I have a few friends in california who I send them manchester united kits etc so any thing you want just ask for i dont mind one bit.


Great looking forum by the way

many thanks

Dann
