Previous discussions I have had regarding swapping in a V8 to a 1J was not met with much enthusiasm here in WA

The biggest concern is the electronics. Even one of WA's top Soarer electronics specialists would not have a bar of it... At the end of the day with the prices of basic v8's these days you are better off starting with the right base.

But if you love a challenge I'm sure anything can be done given enough time and patience working it all out (and that's WITH the wiring diagrams)...

These comments can be easily dispelled by someone who has actually done a 1J to V8 conversion. But because of the concerns above I can't recall anyone who has actually done it? (This obviously doesn't mean it can't be done however)...
