seeing as the Aristo came with a 1uz and 4wd in Japan, putting the 3uz in shouldn't be too much work. But frankly, why bother when you can get a 2JZGTE in so easily?

I know what you mean guys but over here it's be looking at about £10-12000dollars or about £5000-£6000pounds to do it for that I can buy a aristo!!

Where as the v8 would suit the roads here better(more user friendly)and cost about £1000-£2000pounds. and would be a one off!

It's a lot of work and money for an extra 50-60 hp. I guess it depends on what your end goal for the car is.
