Default Lexus IS-F engine w/tranny for sale on Ebay - $7,000 (~800 miles)!!!

I wish I was a MAD MAD person...like a mad scientist. lol. I would scoop this thing up and try to squeeze it into my 2GS. It could then be considered the first GS-F!

Seriously, it would be sick to drop this powerplant in there though.

Figure $7K + $500 for shipping and $3-4K for the install and custom pieces. All for under $12K! That is close to supercharging...may as well get a NEW engine (this IS-F engine) if you were going to spend it on FI.

What are your thoughts?

Cool. GO for it!!

Looking under the cover though.. Yikes

In theory it should work out.. as long as the engine and trans ecu is there. We know the motor will fit and I am sure you can get a custom made drive shaft.
