V8 MR2 Startup and Rev

After about a week of working on the V8 MR2 "Toystar" I made a video showing what it looked like and what it sounded like. The sound does not even come through. It sounds like a mixture of a Corvette and Camaro V8. You can see towards the end the sound unsyncs with the video. Sorry about that. The 'smoke" coming from the vent filters is actually steam. The number 8 cylinder was cracked. Currently that engine has been replaced along with the installation into a new chassis. Visit www.v8mr2.com and start with Day 105 to see the new project race car.

Just wondering why you chose to go with the northstar? Is there some kind of reason? I know the North Star is 1 hell of a powerful engine in stock form but it had all those cooling issues. And I believe not much after market support. Was it 2 be different?

@lamiac2411 It was what was at my local junk yard. So I purchased the whole car for $200 and used the engine.

soon. I am installing a new F40 6-Speed transmission. And it is back to being a fuel injected Electromotive TEC3 powered Toystar. Wait until you see the Kinsler Injection system we will have in place for 2010!
