Building a hill-climbing monster is as easy as stuffing a big Lexus V8 into a tiny Ford.

The engine remains naturally aspirated for now, but its 280 horsepower output is more than enough to move the 2,200 pound Ford around quite quickly. The engine breathes through a dual side-exit exhaust and has a BMW 318 gearbox behind it to handle shifts.
It was not like today, when BMW and Toyota worked jointly on the Supra.

An interesting question is how they managed to bolt the older BMW transmission to the older (LS400) Lexus V8, when, in those days, BMW and Lexus components were not designed for compatibility with one another. It was not like today, when BMW and Toyota worked jointly on the Supra.
