bignum Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Basically the same yes, apart from the sump on the soarer is correct to go straight in a supe i believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Yup its the same apart from the sump, Soarers have a rear sump arrangement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobius Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 plenty of cheap V8 soarers about as well, always have a word with Steve Smith on http://www.soarerworld.com/, always has a few for breaking, and probably a few engines lying. So may be the best bet to look for a new sump if going down the LS400 route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wile e coyote Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 supercharged v8 i thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneybrendan Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 was thinking if i got the whole car then i would have something to drive around in while the build gets finished.Plus once its finished i wont have anything to do so start researching another idea now.Might even sell the seats or wheels to get one,not sure yet though.What power can the soarer auto box take.

Swampy442 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Its basically the same box as the Supra but with manual line pressure and I believe 1 less clutch band/solenoid? Not entirely sure but the line pressure thing is a deffo fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
