Cannuck Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I'm not really a Lexus owner, I own a Toyota. I know it may seem that I'm one of those lower class peasants but hey, we're in the same kingdom right? Anyways I got a stock 5-speed, supra mk4 non-turbo. I was thinking if the engine ever broke down or if I got enough money in the future, I could swap it for a V8 instead. I came across the 3UZ-FE (The kind they have in those fancy Lexus cars) and I think it's the right choice since the old GS430 had UZ-GE engines. Don't want to put a cheap domestic V8 in it like a camaro or mustang engine cuz they are unreliable. And so finally, I ask you this: Is this a legit site in your opinion? http://www.asapmotors.com/used-engines-lexus-c-1_23.html http://www.asapmotors.com/lexus-gs430-43-p...9e5a5fdb5d720df How much do you think it costs for a brand new or used 3UZ-FE engine (Canadian money please)? Where would you get it from? Is it worth doing an engine swap like that? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
