Any one done it? I tried to google for it but nothing comes up.

That would be pretty badass!

if a supras engine would fit in there, then i bet an ls1 would fit.

Yeah an LS1 should fit without a problem. A friend of mine put an LS400 V8 in his and it is a bigger in pretty much every dimension than an LSX.

A 2JZ will cost the same and would bolt right in.

Pointless to me, when you can just turbo it

If I wanted a turbo car, I wouldn't be asking about V8 swap now would I?

people don't turbo v8s when they swap them?

What year? Is it already RWD? I don't know much about them... I would think a Lexus would be a software/computer nightmare, making everything play nice...

er..no. not stock for stock. now if we are arguing potential then things get really intresting.

If you put an LS1 in an Altezza it'd rock out. Plenty of torque and you wouldn't have to use any sort of a poweradder to compensate. Add a T56 and that'd be a bad bitch.

i agree on the good power without power adder, but what do you expect from a 3.0lt 6 cyl vs a 5.7 8 cyl.

now THAT is sick, I like he used the wagon-ish chassis too, very utilitarian but its stilll gonna haul @ss.

looks like a great fit with the monster sized toyota motor so the LS1 should fit no problem. now if I could only find an IS300 for cheap then I'd build one too!

I always thought the 1UZFE was a very compact V8...probably one of the smaller ones out there that was mass produced due to the cool head/cam design...



This is a pic of one going into a 70's Corolla and look how much room is left...
This guy has a pretty neat project... http://www.1uzfe.com



Not arguing because I haven't had the two side by side, but I doubt it's much bigger, if at all, than an LS1.
