Anyone know where I can find some information on pulling a motor out of one of these ls430s? Is there any special things that I may need to know? Particularly hard in this car's case? I would spend hours searching but this seems much more efficient and people can share their two cents on the topic. I'm thinking about giving 3 grand for a good shaped ls430 with 90k on it. She's a 03 UL with a blown motor due the "oil pumpm failure" evidently. I can pull and install motor as well as timing belts and the other goodies.

Thanks guys.

Oh and Happy New Year!

There are some minor differences between the 03 and 04 model, but the attached 04 engine tear-down procedures should give you some insights...

Thanks very much you guys....i can see it's not special over any other car and that's great tight fit but no too bad none the less. Looking at this i would say I need to figure which years work for what I would assume that the 03 is only gonna work with the 03 and older cars easily because of the changes for 2004 keep it coming guys I'm doing some research of my own.
