You want to lose the v8 for the inline 6? I hope you are talking about a GTE turbo engine, not just a GE vvti. The swap is much more popular in a low power GS300. But the V8 GS400/430 has similar power to a GTE turbo engine. Obviously the GTE has more potential. So I'm guessing that's what you're talking about?

Yeah I'm looking to get a gte and boosting the horse power, I'm a mechanic and i was looking to find out if it's a quick swap or do i have to weld no mounts? I know i will have to change a few computers, but how many? I know it's been done before.

Everything engine and transmission related.

It all bolts in though.

Just bolting in can be a project-saver... have seen mounts becoming the most expensive line-item on an engine swap, if they couldn't use factory, or pre-made.

There's lots of online info on swapping in an Aristo, to the GS3, GS4, and GS43. Just go digging.
