It’s not the race car. Ignore how low this Toyota Tundra is, ignore the subtle tweaks, the aftermarket wheels, and the snotty exhaust note. Pay no attention to the airbags or the dyno time, and don’t think too much about this 5,000 pound Baby Huey running on the dragstrip. It’s not the race car…it’s the guy’s tow rig for his actual race car, an LS-swapped Mazda RX-7. Now, with all of that being said, we’d kill for a tow rig that plays like this monster does. The 5.7L V8 was fitted with a supercharger kit sourced straight from Toyota themselves and it puts in work, bumping up the power level from the stock 380-ish horsepower to a stout 558 horsepower at the rear wheels. Even better is the 571 ft/lbs of torque that this great white whale is going to need in order to get up and moving, but it moves, it sounds awesome going, and while we aren’t in a hurry to find a cheap Tundra to modify, it does make us wonder what that combo would do stuffed into a late 1980s Toyota Supra. That would shut up both the “V8 swap” crowd and the anti-LS group all at once…
No it won’t – it will make us shout even louder!
The rotary out of his RX7 probably ended up in that wild orange Chevy you featured some time ago which just goes to show that there are people out there that can actually think outside the Chevy box when it comes to engine swaps…
