I'm not really a fan of celica's... But i saw this wallpaper and had to have it, but after looking at the engine bay pic i see there's a toyota V8 in there... Is this a swap from a truck or what? I didnt know toyota made a v8 car engine...

You serious... so it came from the factory with that engine... So its bigger than the inline six the supra has then...

That's a GT-Four converted to RWD with the Tundra V8 I believe.

There are Lexus (Lexi) With V8's

Lexus started in 1990.
I don't know what year they first used a V8, but it was a while ago.
That is a Lexus 4.0L.

He swapped it in.

It's not from a Tundra.
The Tundra has the 2UZFE.
That is a 1UZFE.

It's one of the following Lexus engines:
1UZ-FE 4000cc V8 alloy block
2UZ-FE 4700cc V8 iron block
3UZ-FE 4300cc V8 alloy block
I don't recognise the particular model it's taken from but the top cover (with the V8 logo) is quite different to the ones I have seen on early model LS400 sedans (1UZ-FE).
