veeaipee Posted April 26, 2007 Posted April 26, 2007 hi, im about to get a lexus ls400 from a relative of mines, but the only problem is that the mileage is pretty crazy. i was wondering what motor swaps have been done to ls400's. i know for a fact that japan guys do some crazy ish with their celsior's, but not sure whats some of the motors they swap in. so my question is, what motorswaps are available for ls400's? and how much work there is to be done... i tried searching around, but no luck... thanx in advance

veeaipee Posted April 26, 2007 Author Posted April 26, 2007 i think more than 250k mileage isnt the only reason why i wanted to swap the motor out though.

OmarG Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 I think you can put a tundra engine too. the 4.7l out of trucks and suvs. Don't quote me on that though.
