A few people have put LSX series engines in the Supra, so it'd work if someone really wanted to do it.

, now about that w16 hmmm, nahhh, now wat i'd really like to see someone do is a double inline 6 just two 2jz's in one engine bay or at least one car, both runing giant single setups.

That's a neat trick- the 750 motor is a V12. If it was from an older E38 chassis car, that V12 was not particularly powerful:
750iL 5.4L M73B54 Petrol V12 326hp/361tq
Today's V8s do better than that... it was mostly intended to be smooth, not powerful.

The new M5 and M6 have a V10...

Or a Viper motor (which is basically a truck motor).

I'd like to see a twin turbo Lexus V8, or maybe an IS-F motor & trans.
But what a wiring nightmare that would be... sensors galore.

swapping the Bugatti engine in is for the lazy tuner. Lets try fusing two 1UZs together at the crankshaft

I'd like to see a LS1 go into the SC. i've always liked the SBC. IIRC, there was a CL member that was thinking of dropping in a LS1 into the SC.

There have been a few people that have talked about it, but as far as I know nobody has actually completed it like they have in a Supra thus far.

I would love an lsx sc300. I Love that mean v8 sound. I would probably do it if the stock engine wasn't so easy to mod. Maybe if I get more $$
