While looking up info on alternatives for the Studebaker, I stumbled on people swapping Toyota V8's into stuff (drift cars?). They are nifty looking motors...almost 426 hemi-looking, but are small enough (4.0 liter V8) that they might get gas mileage when left hooked up to the Toyota automatic transmission. They are selling stupid cheap from what I read.

Anybody ever messed with one? ....swapped it into some non-stock application? If yes, what did you think about it?

Rumor has it, jag motors like to leak oil.
