Default Odd Engine Swaps...

I'm merely wondering if anyone has heard of any interesting swaps done with the SC chassis. Other then the common 1J/2J/UZ's etc. Possibly domestic engines or whatever it may be. You really can't ask for more with a proper 2J setup I know, but Im just curious Thanks.

The only other exotic swaps I've seen was a RB26 and a B13 rotary.

I was really contemplating putting in a vq35 into a sc300 on a budget, but the power just wouldn't be there, so I went 1jz.

These chassis want a huge motor-- I think the 4.7 would be the least you would want-- So what if it's heavier (60 lbs more -- ehh) --

I know I knocked the LS1 swap earlier-- but to drop 60 lbs, and go physically smaller, the Ls1 or LS2 sounds soooo inviting-- plus-- T56, come on--

These are sooooooo cheap--- $4500 w/ T56 and you got 375 hp just with ecu tune-- maybe a little more-- AND--

Better Gas Mileage

Sounds sooooo good to me--

The LS motors are one thing the Americans did right --

Simply put, nobody can beat the design-- no matter who it is-- Freakin pushrod motor and it can get 30mpg in a vette-- come on --
