motor swap ?
Hey was up guy Iam a few days away from grabing a new to me but used sc400.the ? is can you use a ls1, mustang cobra audi4.2 v8ect. and what would i have to do to get it too work. thanks
Uhhhhhh thanks for clarifying that your SC isn't new, lol :P
I would say if you're posting a thread like this...then this project is way over your head. Choose a motor first, then start researching, see what you come up with.
But...for the amount of money you'd throw into buying and swapping in one of those motors, you could probably have a pretty gangster S/C or TT kit on the 1UZ.

Before you're set on your project you really need to look into what you have now and work from there first. there are a ton of factors that you need to consider when doing a freak swap like this (wiring, transmission fitment, fabrication etc.). You also need to know what you goals are (daily driver, autocross, drifting etc.). IMHO you're already way over your head if you're asking us with such a general question. You need to start at the basics before you move on up to the crazy swaps.

you have a chance to but a 2jz gte the mother of all engines for the most part and you want to stuff a crustang motor or ls1 under there? Even A 2006 3v ford motor puts out about 300hp ls maybe a bit more. gte will be 300 out of the box and the ability to be take up to 500 to 600 hp maybe more with out tearing the block apart. That right there should make your decision a little easier. Also with the money you are going to blow on a custom setup you could tear down a 2j gte and stroke it plus t70 or bigger turbo for some crazy 1/4 times and or smoke lambo's for fun, maybe even a saleen s7
