ive posted this before but now im actually close to having the money together to do something about my car. im not really looking to go fast but im open to all suggestions. should i rebuild the factory GE, buy a GTE, ive toyed with the idea of swapping a gs4 motor in. gotta love the sound of a v8. what would you do in my position. keeping in mind its my daily driver. all suggestions are welcome.

 

 

LSX.. That does sound sexy.

 

Rebuild your engine or get another GE. If you're gonna go with GTE or 3UZ, it will be very costly to have everything done right.

 

Agreed, LS motors for the win. LSx was a term used to reference the LS motor family, now there is a LSX block. Any of them or all of them would be a good choice. I think it is safe to say that it is pointless to take the I6 and swap a V8 when there are so many GS4s already around you know? As a matter o'fact, I personally own a 430 and debated swapping in a GTE, but now with the option of putting in a LS motor, is it really a question...? I love the JZ family motors, and would give both nuts for a Supra, but if your going through the work of swapping why not open the world of cheap aftermarket parts for your American V8? One important question, are you doing the work yourself or having a shop do it? Any thoughts?

 

id be having a shop do all the work. i dont have the tools or the mechanical inclination to do a motor swap myself. especially one of this caliber. i wonder how much it would cost to swap a ls motor in my gs3

 

DGR out in Cali has already done it. There's a thread about them putting together a kit for the GS, so I'd contact them.
