Engine in the LS430 are the same 4.3 liter v8 as the GS430 (3UZ-FE), but with slightly differences in the intake / exhaust systems that yield a little less HP.

Similar but a little different... up to 2004, the Tundra used an earlier version of the 4.7l 2UZ-FE and after that a 4.7 L V8 w/ VVT-I with rated at 271 horsepower and 313 ft-lbs of torque
