Holy sh!t I hope you're not serious!

That could actually be the stupidest thing I've ever read. The only way I imagine it would be possible is to put the yota's body on an olds frame.

Maybe you should stop banging your sister and take an English class so you can learn how to spell "inbred."

What

This has to be a joke. why would anybody put a motor like that into a Toyota. If you're serious, a fart can muffler won't sound like a blender on a 455 BBO

On the other hand, there is a video on My Space of a SBC in a Corolla, it's retarded at best

I was thinking about putting a Corolla under the hood of my Oldsmobile, are you selling one cheap?

I gotta see it if you pull it off though. Anything's possible.

I saw some images of an Opel with a 455 in it. It was a monster! Maybe I'll google it and if I can find it I'll add it on here.

LOL, An Olds 455 wouldn't be "imbread" in a Toyota, need a Lexus engine for that! A 455 Toyota would be cool going straight, turning would be a problem, thing would push like a like a dump truck, ever drive a 401 Gremlin X? This sound like one of the ideas you would get sitting around partying with your friends in the basement a la "That 70's Show", Hey wow man... wouldn't it be cool if...

Only Simon Crowell (Idol Idiot) would have to agree with this lame-brained idea.

But then, I did own for a number of years an Olds 215ci aluminum V8 stuffed (with adapter) up the ass of my '65 veedub. Aside from the wheelie affliction, it actually was not that bad.

I've always been a fan of the Big Daddy Roth oversized freak cars. Built many 'stick models (made from various leftover plastic model parts) of my dreams as a kid.

What the hell, go for it. Just make sure you have a 'good' friend with a video cam and lots of 4-by's and stretch bandages.

I think he was just playing a trick on us and never had intentions of doing that.
