T56 Swap kits....
Idk if this has been posted but I was looking for R154 stuff for my 1UZ then came across this link.
T56 Swap Kits

I'm thinking of emailing them to get more info and see if this is still avail. If so for the price and all you get it may be a good option.

The appeal that it was supposedly cheaper than a V160 and stronger than a R154 but with the adapter kit above the cost is well into V160 price range.

actually now that I think about it, that kit costs more than my ls1/t56 did with shipping...if you want a t56, order it with an ls1 and do the swap...otherwise, just stick with the v160.
