Toyota 5VEU V8

Does anyone know how much this 4 litre pushrod V8 from toyota weighs? Are there any performance parts for them? Were they ever put in any american imports? Thanks!
P.S. If you dont know the exact weight, do you know if it is heavier than a 5MGE? Thanks!

The V series V8 was reserved only for the flagship Toyota Century, available only in Japan. And no real performance parts are available for this archaic boat anchor, either...

Yup, them old world Japanese are a stickler for tradition...pushrods..wow. Although they probably have them riding on some high tech bearings made of some exotic material.

Overhead cam engines have been around longer than pushrod engines.
