Toyota 2000GT - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The engine was a 2.0 L (121 in³) straight-6 (the 3M) based on the engine in the top-of-the-line Toyota Crown sedan. It was transformed by Yamaha with new double overhead camshaft heads into a 112 kW (150 hp) sports car engine. Carburation was through three two-barrel Solex 40 PHH units. The car was available with three different final drives. Fitted with a 4.375 ratio axle, the car was said to be capable of reaching 135 mph (217 km/h). It could get 31mpg[3].

This is the one I was thinking of when I said motorcycle engine.... although it wasn't a motorcycle engine it was a tiny two cyl. 800cc so essentially a cycle engine in size

Hey, if you need those engines there are hundreds of the Toyota Crowns in Trinidad.

Read it closely based on. Yamaha built the motor it was just based on the Crowns block. Toyota had no idea how to build a racing motor Yamaha did even though they had never built a 4 stroke.

Wish they would have made the LC motor like this in 67. What a sweet design.
