I just dont see the point of doing the swap. I mean if the LSX was going into lets say a fox body mustang it would make sense because the car weights 2900 lbs. The MKIII is a big girl though so in reality after all that money its like having a stock camaro with an MKIII body. Then again if you are gonna go with a V8, LSX motors FTW!!! Especially an LS7.
Anyone running a Chevrolet 350 V8 in their supra?

I've been looking around and their is a good amount of MK3 supras with the 350 in it. I have talked to a few people and they said its not that hard of a project. I can get a LS1 cheap, I'm supposed to talk to a friend this week, he is like a master of building anything/everything and can tune anything, so I'm gonna see whathe says.
Keep it toyota ;-) this motor is a much better idea.
Also i can provide you all the parts so it bolts right in.

Is that the 1UZ? thats the motor in the LS400 and whatnot, right? How hard is that swap? is their anything you can do to that motor performance wise?
The 1UZ's respond VERY well to supercharging, If I recall correctly there was an article about someone with a 1000+ horsepower 1UZ (Not in a lexus though). The stock internals are plenty strong, and there's a decent line of aftermarket parts for it.
Its a 1uz from an SC400, but ya any of the lexus 400 cars.
the swap is easy, and you can do anything to it that you can do to any other motor. and there is decent support for parts. check out www.uza70.com i sell everything needed to do the swap to a mk3 supra.

That is going to be a sick setup... i wouldnt want to wire up the 2 tps tho for the drive by wire on that...
If you went Lsx, I would build up a LQ9 block to a 408 before I would to the LS7. LS7 has to thin of walls for being a small block. Ive seen the 408 short blocks forged go for $4k. Then just find a camaro that blew a rod and strip it for the rest and you'll have a killer FI/NO2 motor.
Found the link I was talking about with the 1005 hp 1uz -

"The Vortech supercharger has been heavily uprated to run reliably at 1.65bar of boost. The result is an astonishing 1005bhp at 7400rpm and 744 lb ft of torque at 6700rpm."
