thats cool to hear. no i'm not that kind of baller...but the engine is accessible. if i had the funds maybe. but why wouldn't it be efficient? because of the weight of engine and car? or cost efficiency?

Is the Century's V12 only 280HP because of the Japanese voluntary HP restriction? It seems like it should put out more than that if the later 1UZ-FE with VVT-i put out 290+HP in the LS400. Does the 1GZ-FE feature VVT-i?
Is the 1GZ-FE used in any other JDM Toyota vehicles?

a toyota V12 would be awesome in a LS, put a less restrictive intake and exhuast and you can make lots of HP and LOTS of torque.
The gas mileage and weight would be a different issue though!

The Century is a production car, a flagship sedan above the Celsior (LS). Perhaps somebody here can post a pic of one.
