This is a really clean and well though out engine swap. Most engine swaps suck because they are half baced and swap in an uninteresting engine. This one doesn't.

Yup, I'd like one. Not one iota of comparable skills though, and
can't imagine the cost if actually paying for the time that was required, and the fabrication etc.

It pulls like a mule on roids.....
Mind you it's sitting in a 2900lb Porsche, not a bloated Supra.

Loved the sound of that V-12 as the tach hit 7-grand in that video!

Speaking of, what's up with the tach? Seems to be surging, still driven by eight pulse signal from the twelve cyls?

Maybe it has arthritis,or its an old tach that's never been run that high. Mostly accurate up to 5k. Receives its signal direct from the ecu.

I need more videos, specially of it running, then I need you to bring it to my shop for safe keeping.....I have an empty stable that she would fit in quite nicely!

Love it!, want it! Can't afford it.....

...I need some videos of autocross performance...or maybe some heads up throwdowns.

OK, don't really "need" per se, but would be appreciated.

Fun stuff!

Porsche 928 with Rare 1GZ-FE Toyota V12 Engine Swap

Clean job too.

From the article:
We bet you guys didn't even know that Toyota had ever built such an exotic motor as a V12. Buy they did, and it's called the 1GZ-FE. The 5-liter engine is used to power the Japan-only Toyota Century luxury sedan that entered production in 1997.

8 pictures and video in the gallery
