Default Introducing myself

Hello everyone,
I have a 98 LS400 I picked up back in March and have been enjoying it immensely.
Since picking it up I installed, Megan Street-LP Coilovers, MB Battle 18x9.5 wheels and tint.
Car has 217k miles on it and runs smooth as silk.
I have already used these forums for some help on general maintenance and installing the coilovers which has been great.

Currently working on rebuilding a 2JZ-GTE VVTi motor from an Aristo to swap in for more power and if there is enough interest I might start a build thread for it.
Not my first motor swap but it is my first Toyota so wish me luck.

Doesn't look like they sell them anymore, but here is the store page with all the measurements.
