Default Formula Drift IS300 Build. MOD IDEAS WELCOME!

What is up Lexus Club! Lexus Is300 owner here ready to make a statement. For Far too long has Drifting been in the backgrounds of sports TOO LONG! TIME TO LET THEM SEE WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT.
Here In OK we have 3 tracks I know of. Shroud, ok and Mac Park, Okc and OMC in Norman ok.
​​Some people know about the tracks at cars and coffee and meets but No one has enough ***** to gut there "Beautiful car" and slide it sideways.
That's exactly what Im here to do. Make a street car with a ton of livery. Gutted to the dash. Wire tuck. Cage. Angle kit. Turbo kit. Fuel cell. Tube front. You name it, I might just ****ing DO IT! I'm So pumped for this build even though its going to cost me blood sweat and lots of money. That will all be worth it soon.
Now for the car. 2003 Lexus IS300. Here's a few pictures.

Diagnosis on IS300
Needs Rebuilt possibly. It runs very bad and spits oil from the driver side by the filter. That's fine I need to rebuild it with better internals so it can handle a big turbo . Im shooting for around 600hp.
Inside is complete and is For Sale . I will be carefully taking it out and storing it .
Transmission is going to be swapped with a W58 or Cd009 so I could care less about what condition the transmission is in .
So first thing is first. LETS GUT THIS LEXUS!

Default Problem Found!

So long story short is that the motor ran like hell and I was planning on doing a rebuild and forged internals so later I can turbo it .

so this speaks for itself.

I NEED A NEW BLOCK. Cylinder 1 went out the side. Money pit is300.. That's ok lets get it done. If anyone has a spare block PM ME!

Curious too. With that engine damage and the goals for this car, I'm hopping the OP just went straight for a GTE engine and manual trans all at once.
