Working on the SC470TT motor at this time. Here is a picture of interest. I am using the 2uzfe Tundra 4.7 iron block with SC400 parts.

Your pic didn't show.. but man, your TT ls setup is amazing. How many miles have you put on it? How often do you drive? What kind of mileage do you get? Your sig says you boost daily, so I assume its a daily driver Its a beast! I'd love to go that route with my LS.

Yup,

Boosting Daily. My daily is 14.7 psi and once a blue moon i bump it up to 18 psi. My car is an old school LS400. Its a classic indeed.

Iron block is stronger then aluminum block. Currently this is what I have on my engine:

Here are the specs.

Block: Tundra 2UZFE 4.7 Iron block
Crank: 1uzfe crank
Main: 4 bolt main from 1uzfe VVTi conversion
Rods: Lextreme Lightning H Beam Rods with L19 ARP bolts
Pistons: Custom Ross forged 8.5:1 Compression
Pins: Heavy duty Ross pins
Rings: Total Seal heavy duty custom rings
Bolts/Studs: ARP 11 mm main bolts (4 per main)
Head Studs: 7/16" drilled and taped

The engine also got VIP service. TLC everywhere..
* Hot Tank
* Align Bore (.02" over)
* Align Hone
* Deck
* Power Hone
* Convert to 4 bolt
* Pin fit rods
* Resize
* Balance Assembly
* Grind Crankshaft
* Full Assemble


I am not sure if you can view this or not but here are some pictures:
Tundra Iron block with custom forged pistons mate with 1uzfe heads


Tundra Iron block with SC400 oil pickup and heads


Everything on this engine is from SC400 except the block. The block is from Tundra 4.7 liters
