Default 99 sc400 swap 1uzvvti in 96 sc300

I have been looking for a dd since my na-t sc300 is down for upgrades and it's costing me an arm and 3 legs to daily it $700+ on E85 a month.

I decided to buy another SC and drop a vvti v8 in it and daily it.

I got the sc now i will be starting the swap in the next couple days.

I will take alot of pics of the whole process .

stay tune

Always a fan of the 1UZ.... especially the VVTi. It's way more than enough power for daily driving. It's such a smooth drivetrain, you're gonna love it man.

Thanksfor the support!

My other daily is a 2002 GS300 with 258k miles and it's boring now , so i wanna try the V8 it was either this or an LS swap but i got a great deal on the complete swap so i wanna give it a try!

I would love to try the 1uzvvti with R154 later down the road once the swap is all complete.

Fonzo if the weather breaks this week end it's ON !
