hello RX guys! here is my new car project... 99 rx300-330 awd
so i scrored this rx300 from my aunt. for free. its 1999 awd with 120k miles.
she was original owner. once offloaded off the tow truck it was the first time seeing the car after she explained to me that a mechanic said she needs a new engine.. im thinking yea... sure it does..
i pop the hood and i shat my pants..
so i said yes in fact you do need a new engine.. so she said F that you can have the car if you can fix it.. so i said woot !
here is what i have decided. im gonna swap a 3.3l into it and i picked up the motor today!
stay tuned. 1999 rx330 awd in progress!

This is going to be sweet! I'd love to see a 3.3L in this beast! Maybe a 5 speed (U151) down the road!
Better do the timing belt on the replacement engine before putting it in the car.

Looks like a very good project. I suspect the mechanical compatibility is going to be only half of the transplant effort. I hope you also got the electronics from the donor vehicle. Good luck.
