An engine that no one knows about, and you cannot find parts for in America. Looks like some sort of 4A, or 3S engine. But its DEFINETLY not from america.

YOu sir, are absolutely correct! 18RGU i believe.

Again though, never in an american car. The American celicas had the 18RC engine. Not shabby, but the 22R far outperformed the 18RC.

The 18RG, i know nothing of.

Just got this last message from him, he is clearly an idiot:

i got the truck from my neighbor and he told me the head was worth that much and he told me what the motor it is and i forgot

"I forgot" uh huh. You can remember that its a "race" engine, but have NO idea what it is.

18-RG is designed by Yamaha, Only makes about 125hp and I heard they weren't that reliable, Id rather have a 22R.

so for some reason they swapped out the 22r for a less reliable motor? but wait its got a K&N air filter!!!!! that alone is going to get people to crowd to this truck! I like the sound of dual webbers but what racing motors were designed with 125hp? I'd only buy it if he threw in a new Kaneuter valve and rotated the air in the tires

haha,

yeah, 125 hp is only something if it's on a quad, motorcycle, or dune-buggy.

sounds like he needs to lower his price for a engine that is less reliable than a 22r and the body is beat to heck, more like 2000 not 3700

125 isn't bad considering the 20r and 22r both make less than 100 hp and the 18rg is smaller displacement.

by the looks of that cylinder head, i would say not a true Hemi since the spark plug is at one end of the CC, instead of directly in the middle like a Hemi
