    Brian I say go for it. I'm sure it can be done, they will stick a fucking LS1 in anything.

    The "stock" rear end in the SC is garbage... At the least it needs a Supra TT diff, but I'm going with a Kaaz simited slip from www.horsepowerfreaks.com that site is insane!

    The TRD rear diff will hold the LS1 power w/o any problem. I know of several race cars using that with far more HP than the stock LS1 has w/o issues.

    That would be a sick swap, although you can easily make the 1uz have just as much, if not more than, a stock LS1 has by simply going FI. Don't know what the cost involved in doing an LS1 swap would be, but I'm guessing it's going to be close to what FI'ing a 1uz is. Which would be more reliable??? That's really the question. I've put almost 80K mi on my stock motor since going FI. Not boosting much either, but boost none-the-less. The unique factor nod would have to go to the LS1 swap, although as someone said they are putting them into just about anything these days too. It would be sick as hell though. I actually thought about doing something similar when I had access to a full Z06 motor/harness/ecu/etc just a few months ago. It would be cool to have that kind of HP/TQ while staying NA.

    I know bro, i would love to drop one in my 240z... It would be a beast, well I just found a web site for the 1,2,3uz engines that can put mine over 500hp... So I guess I'm going to keep mine since it only has 40XXX miles on it!
    I just dunno if I wanna keep it auto or not, ill prob turn her into a street/strip car and buy me a carolla or cressida for the drifting part LOL

    Oh, btw I saw you pass by when I was at Zaxbys*
