Default Whats it take to do 370km/h in a landcruiser?

A big cliff?
30,000 ft of altitude and a cargo plane?
Rocket sled from mythbusters?

Sadly it's not ford powered, rather it looks to be an LS (X?) engine, given the photos

Yes I believe its an OEM engine as it was at a motorshow, not a good look using another manufacturers engine after all that $$ spent.

Its pretty bad-*** all round really.
