Engine Swap

Recommended Posts

I have a 99 RX300 AWD with a bad motor, since I have to either rebuild of replace the motor.......   I was thinking about putting a V8 from a LX 470 or from a comparable Toyota. Anyone know if it possible & how difficult would it be?

Huge project requiring major changes.  First of all the LX470 is a rear wheel drive or 4 wheel drive with engine facing front to back not sideways like the RX300.  I don't believe you can do this within a reasonable budget.  Just find  another 3.0 V6 engine or rebuild.

Thanks, I didn't even think about that(sideways) engine....    what can I do to get more horses out of that V6?  Super Charger, turbo or........

what about replace it with a 3mz-fe? I dont know if it will be necessary to upgrade to 5-speed and how it will fit...

If anybody knows if it is possible, could be interesting to have opinions.

 

Happy New Year!
