Default SC400 Motor Swap

With all the work I'm doing to my SC400 I decided I would like to swap motor in a few months. What would be the easiest engine to swap into this chassis. So far I've looking at the 1JZ-GTE, 2JZ-GE, 2JZ-GTE, & 4.8L LS.

Obligatory "Do a search, lazy!"

Of course the engine options that were available in that chassis from the factory will be easiest (JZ series). Anything is possible with the right motor mounts, transmission adapters and clearancing, though. Wiring for all will be a major variable. If you're asking this question, I'd honestly be surprised if you're quite up to something like this, but props for looking into it.

the only answer is build the 1UZ already in there.

after youve paid all the money for a swap you could be at a pretty good number with the 1UZ

That's actually not a bad idea
