LS1 in an SC??
I was just exploring the engine swaps done to Lexus SCX00s and I have not seen an LS1 put in one, has anyone heard of or seen it done? I LOVE these engines and their trannys...
But more than likely I'm going to keep the 1UZ in it and build the hell out of it
LMK, I think it would be SIC!!!!

Back when I was considering getting a sc300, All that I could find at the time were sc400s. I thought about getting a sc400 any way and doing a lsx swap. I think that the only true hassle that you may run into is wiring the lexus gauge harness to the lsx computer. From a physical standpoint it should not be very difficult at all. Nothing that some custom motor and trans mounts won't fix. All in all that would definitely a real nice swap.

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!
can u stick a ford 9" under there?lol
Hell... Why not LOL
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
Check it out, www.lextreme.com
Oh, btw I saw you pass by when I was at Zaxbys*
LT1??
Cheaper and just as mod friendly. I have one if your interested??? LOL

thats what will be going in mine.
thier good engines,bu reason im doing LT1 over a LS1 is everything i ahve bolts right up,so alot easier and cheaper.
and id do solid axle on the SC,if it was me.
first for 9" under an sc...Damn, I just had to
Supra rear so it would still be IRS or custom fab a 03-03 cobra rear chunk like they do the FC's

I say a nice H/C/I LS1/T-56 would make that car move out pretty nicely.

^^For sure, I want to do cams, headers, fuel system, forged pistons/rods, vortech v1 supercharger w/IC, and throw an AEM on to tune it.. SHOULD put me around 400-450?? Ill be happy with that. Then I need to decide weather or not I'm going to make it a strip car or drift car Auto or Man.... O well, I have time to worry about that after the engine!
AEM? No. Google LS1-edit. Anything is possible. But you'd need to fab engine and tranny mounts of course and modify your driveshaft. It's going to cost a LOT of money if you are paying someone to do it, which it sounds like you would be.
400-450? You can make that with cams and bolt ons to the wheels with an LS1. With an SC you should make 600+ easy. Unfortunately what you listed is about 15k-20k
