Damn you guys work fast! I just got back from a recycler and they have a V8 instock and would sell it for $600. I wanted to tell you guys this is what I was going to do, but you guys beat me too it :whistles: Im gonna offer 500 for the engine and go from there. On a side note, are there any links to performance products for the 1uzfe? I know nothing of this engine and would like to rebuild the blown engine with performance stuff later. Aloha!

Can seem to find any Lexus's in the junkyards here in Hawai..this is the first broken one ive seen. I dont really want to put a six speed in the car as the Aristo half cut comes with an automatic trans. SRK i noticed that you have both a LS and a GS, I know its a lot to ask, but would you be able to look at both engines and see if the GS engine mount look like they would fit in the LS? Meaning where the engine mounts attach to the chassis on both cars do the look similar like in bolt pattern? Myself and a couple buddy already did a few SR20 swaps so we are pretty proficient at swaps/wiring. Although we dont have the facilities/equiptment to do fabrication. I would like to know, if any of the SC/GS engine mounts are compatible with the LS?. Anyone? As for the lady's $2500 asking price. The car had been sitting for awhile. What price do you think I should ask?

Im new so be gentle. Im seriously thinking of buying a 91 LS400. The problem with this car is that it has a blown engine. Seems the lady who owned the car broke a hose then decided to drive the car home with no water and seized the engine. The good new is that she is willing to get rid of the car for $2500. It is in perfect shape other than the engine. My friend imported am JDM Aristo 2JZGTE twin turbo w/auto trans front clip for a now defunked project. He is willing to sell it to me for $3000. Now the million dollar question I have is, do you guys think this swap would be possible? The reason I ask is that I know the GS's come with the N/A version of this engine here in the US, as well as the SC's comming with BOTH the N/A 2JZGE and the V8 option. Im thinking it would just be a matter of fitting SC or GS N/A engine mounts or do you think major fabrication of the LS mounts are required to make this work? I could have an awesome ride for under $6000. Think of the tuning possiblities... Do you think it would work?
