Thought about building a track T some time back, but the thought of 4 banger power.......I just don't think I could get into it. Well, maybe if it was a 270 Offy with a set of Hilborn's hangind off the intake side of the head.....

I'm sure a toyota drive train would work fine, main drawback would be resale on the car when you're ready for something else. Lot's of nice lightweight V-6's around that can be had pretty cheap, too. Or maybe a 2300 OHC Ford engine with the Turbo and a good 5 speed behind it. Nothing sez the T's have to be automatic trannys. If you could find one, the little all aluminum Buick V-8's would be kewl, too.

Heck, it's your car, if you want a Toyota in it, build away!!!!!
