Is the Toyota going to hopefully sound like a Ferrari?

But the engine sure does sound neat.

I spoke with Brandon and he said the ACT T023 heavy duty pressure plate has held up to 500 HP on a few of his known 1uz swaps with the billet steel flywheel.... It's surface is 9.375" OD and 5.875" ID

It matches the FW PP pattern of the custom 1uz/1gz Flywheel...

Jaguar V12 is a great motor though, good (strong) for racing.
Can make big HP. People are starting to realize how good it is.
Did you consider a BMW V12?, they are a dime a dozen over here (BMW 750i parts cars available everywhere), it's German, it's bullet proof, and it was used in the original 243 mph McLaren F1. (627 BHP with modification of course)
That motor won LeMans and many other major race venues in that car.
BTW in Europe there are Guys running boosted BMW V12s (M70) with stock bottom ends putting out 1000hp
and staying together just fine. That would give Tony a run.

This is gonna be epic...
... Jag V12 gets a bad rap. Just like any semi-exotic, the weak points are well documented, and preventive maintenance and upgrades will make it quite reliable. Definitely staying tuned to this thread. V12 928 = win

I think the biggest downside to the Jag V12 is pulling the entire intake manifold to change plugs. It's non-trivial.
BMW V12 are plentiful, but they are a lot less reliable than the BMW V8s.
I think it's a cool choice. It's hard to beat Toyota when you are looking for something reliable. And at 450 lbs I bet it's quite a bit lighter than Jag and BMW engines.

They are bullet proof, fuel efficient (even the old ones) and it takes all day to change the plugs.

The plugs are hard to change on HE motors. For the non HE cars, they're pretty easy. V12 jaguars are pretty reliable if you stay on top of the fuel system and make sure all the hoses are in good order and the ignition system is in good order. Else they will be prone to catching fire. Other then that, they have the usual Jaguar electrical problems. But if you own a 928, this should not be anything that you can't handle.
