Toyota Crown with a 1UZ V8

Mad Mods Garage is a company in Szczecin, Poland that builds and modifies vehicles for drag racing and drifting. Recently they were given the opportunity to breath new life in a 1974 Toyota Crown. The sedan is a now powered by a 4.0 L 1UZ-FE and automatic transmission from a Lexus LS400. The engine breaths through a custom stainless steel intake and controlled via the factory Toyota/Lexus wiring harness and ECU. The engine and transmission sit on a heavily modified subframe and custom crossmember with a Opel Corsa steering rack. The driveshaft was also sourced from the LS400 although modified with a Toyota Crown u-joint on the end to connect to the stock Crown rear end. You can view more photos of the build here or listen to the finished product below.
