Part 3 - 1978 Toyota Corona 3.4L V8 (Century)

Lexus / Toyota 3.4L V8 Corona 1978 Part 3. Alloy 3.5 Hemi-spherical V8 From a Toyota Century (Lexus Limo, 4VEU motor), Lumpy cam and Edelbrok Carb.

The engine is still running in here, the cams have just been bed in so before this it has been running at 2000rpm for 20 mins.

Originally owned by Andrew Loader's mum, he decided to modify it so this is his creation, I (Craig Ralton) have since done some mods and work but nothing in comparison to the time he spent.

whats the engine code for the carby v8s?

[rumblestaff0com]

4VEU but the carby is not original. It's Edelbrock Performer (4 barrel, low profile)

Are you sure it's not a 1UZFE? (4.0L V8)

The Toyota/Lexus 3.4L was a V6.

[rumblestaff0com]

Yep, it's not the 4.0 V8 out of the Lexus LS400 / Toyota Celsior, it's a 3.4 V8 from a Toyota Centrury limo
