What all this about lexus V8 petrol motors then?

It is all a bit 'cloak and dagger' recently,
The Lexus I bought this week was advertised on Ebay last week with 40 'watchers', then it was withdrawn from sale and was re-listed for one day only on Saturday, so I jumped on it when no-one was looking!

Is that for the V8 conversion?Originally posted by BUSHWHACKERIt is all a bit 'cloak and dagger' recently,

If you go ahead with that i'd love to know costs/time etc
Im at the point where me and the 2.4 are falling out!
I was going to fit the V6 out of the scimitar BUT! for all the costs and work involved for an extra 50bhp it didnt seem worth skimping out on the engine!
