Eric has been into the 3000GT platform for a long time and has been a pioneer in engine and drivetrain swaps that eventually led to the first non-6g7X car taking the crown in the platform. His V8 AWD 3000GT is a show stopper, not only is it fast as hell and reliable but it shows what the platform is capable of with enough effort. Eric's 4G63 swapped 3000GT is still top 10 on our 3000GT list. Eric talks us through his history with this platform and what led to the V8 swap. Eric talks about the car now and what the future holds for him and the platform. Eric talks about the events he plans to attend in 2023 and his goals for the year. Finally Eric shares where you can see his build and future builds as well as videos and pictures of the V8 3000GT as well as all those who have helped him along the way.
