Rocky Auto really enjoys swapping motors. Most of their Skyline projects use either the factory inline-six or something newer like a RB-series engine. But sometimes like in the case of this 1973 Skyline KGC110 they go really wild. Under the hood is a 4.0 L Toyota 1UZ-FE V8 from a Lexus LS400. If you are interested in such a unique car Rocky Auto is selling it for \u00a512,800,000 or about $106,000.<\/p>\n
