well ive noticed people live out simple things for the aristo swap. her is things that i figured out. i swapped the upper pan and it is not the same as the stock one off the aristo, the oil drain that you drill on your stock sc300 upper pan is 90 dagrees streight up and down, as for the aristo it is slanted maybe a 40 dagree slant, so i had to take it to a shop and have them weld it, there is no way to get it to fit at all, i used 5/8 hose i bought from napa auto parts to get it fit after they welded it. i will get pics of that later, i also had to swap the engine mount brackets, had to get the TT water pump obviously, also the aristo has a acumlator for the braking system which alows it not to have a brake booster. your going to have to drill and tap a fitting for your brake booster line on the upper intake manifold, but the biggest pain i had was with the stupid oil drain setup. i used the stock W58 with the stock flywheel,pp and disc, i sent the wiring out to dr tweak, i didnt want to deal with it. my stock fuel lines worked on it, used my alternator with the stock chassis harness and used my stock a/c compressor

Looks good. Did you just swap the mount brackets with the ones from your SC?

yes sir. you can get them all off with engine out, was fairly easy. looks like you cant reach most of them but you can with a wrench

I like the black theme in the engine bay. And how did you relocate the battery? Do they sell kits for that?

i used a TT supra manual trans throttle cable, as for the battery i did it myself. i just ran a power cable from starter to the trunk under the car and put it where the stock cd changer goes
