Toyota V8 motor Help Identifying it?

We just picked up a few show motors / pcs and I cant figure out what this Toyota V8 is. It maybe a Lotus but they use Toyota motors too.

Sorry I am of no help, but what do you end up doing with show pieces like this? Just curious...

Who knows. I sell surplus. A company closes I buy the leftovers. This just happened to be a auto test lab.

Says my Toyota expert:

"After reviewing the pictures and google I am 95% certain that it is an early LS460 motor.
With it being a show motor It would be the motor that Lotus put in the Esprit replacement."

So close actually. it is a 2ur-gse motor. It was going into the esprit concept in 2012.

Too bad you couldn't really use that. A blown, high reving v8 would be sweet.
