Here's the thing, I have a Reliant scimitar SE 5a and I want it to have a v8 engine, like it should have.
I purchased a few months ago a Lexus Ls400, taxed and tested. The missus is using it daily at the minute, until the tax and test run out (November from memory). The plan was to run it for a bit, take it off the road and ram the engine into the SE5a.
The Lexus is a very nice car, and has working electric everything. It's almost too good to pull to bits, that and I'm a bit short of time, space and probably a bit lazy too to strip it.
So my question is, has anybody got a v8 engine and box (not Rover, they are a bit feeble for a v8) that they want to swap for a fully working LS400 in fairly nice sweet condition? Obviously I will need engine, box, ecu and some loom, ecu, etc.
It looks like this:-
And this is the Scimitar loveliness:-
What do you think ?
