Amazing work!! I love the 1st gen IS, I've driven it many times (even on a 1900 mile trip) and it just as you described, great car, all it needs is some *****.

Thank you everyone! I've been working on building a kit for production to allow anyone wanting to swap an ls1 into the is300 a simple task. Please dont post in the thread asking me how much either.

$3300 for the whole swap. If your cheap you can find higher mileage motors in the older Camaros and T/A's for less. It really just depends on what you can find so go look.
