1980 Toyota Corolla with a V8 engine, why not?

As is almost always the case with this sort of thing, it could only happen in the United States, of course, and on this occasion it has been carried out on no less than a Toyota Corolla fitted with a huge V8 of Chevrolet origin that will surely delight its owner or anyone who dares to get behind the wheel.

As you can see, among the most striking peculiarities of the model, we can basically see a 30-year-old Corolla whose owner has decided to remove the bumpers in addition to a slightly bulging bonnet, something that gives no passer-by the slightest hint that it is a Corolla with no less than a 7.4-litre V8 engine under the bonnet.

Unfortunately, its owner, who apparently has it for sale on eBay, has not declared the final power output of such an experiment, although we can point out that it will be more than 400 horsepower without a doubt.

At least it must be said that the advert clearly tells prospective buyers something as important as the fact that the car is not prepared to withstand the demands of an engine as large as the one fitted, and that to achieve optimal performance improvements will have to be made, both in the form of chassis reinforcements and in the form of much larger wheels than the model currently fits, since with its 13-inch wheels and overly narrow tyres things could end very badly.

Even so, the current owner dares to mention certain figures such as an acceleration capability of 0 to 100 km/h in less than four seconds, which is questionable given the model’s real current capabilities, especially in terms of traction.
