Swap Help Australia Gs300
Hello All,
I am getting a 2000 Gs300 shortly God willing. In Australia we only have the gs300 for second gen. As most people swap or buy an Aristo twin turbo i want to go a different route. I want to add a gs v8 in it. Now my first questions are will the 4.0 and 4.3 fit in w.o any problems? With wiring etc.. is one easier and more logical than the other? what parts do i need besides engine, tranny, ecu, and wiring? I would appreciate your input before i buy a motor and have it installed. thanks in advance!

In Australia it would be almost impossible to register a GS300 with an LS motor, as it did not come as a genuine Lexus option.
However Lexus did obviously release a second generation GS400 and GS430.
I also believe that the suspension and brake setup is identical to the GS300 - please correct me if I am incorrect.
So it should be reasonably straightforward ?? Any suggestions welcomed please.

I was. considering doing a 430 swap since (and I know it's going to sound stupid) to me it suits the color combo I've got (black/tan). the GTE swap is super tempting but I've got other things to look after at the moment (according to the wife the family comes before my cars apparently lol)
