Why put a cast iron block in?.

For all the effort they could have put a much better Toyota engine & box in, thinking 1JZ / RWD lol.

The only thing it has going for it now the rest of the car!.

I just can't understand this. Surely with the same time, effort and expense you could have turboed a ssgti engine and got a better result?
