Default Engine Swap... Tranny Swap... Help...

IM LOOKING TO INSTALL A NEW ENGINE IN BOUT 6 MONTHS... AFTER MY LICENSE IS FINISHED FROM ITS SUSPENSION... IM CONSIDERING A FEW DIFFERENT SWAPS... SEEING HOW THERE ISNT MUCH POWER GAINS FROM MODIFICATIONS ON THE 1UZ-FE MOTOR... I WAS CONSIDERING EITHER A 3.0 V6 TT SUPRA DROP WITH MANUAL TRANNY SWAP... THE JDM 2.5 V6 TT SOARER DROP WITH MANUAL TRANNY SWAP... OR EITHER THE NEW IS430 4.3L V8 SC WITH MANUAL TRANNY SWAP... I UNDERSTAND THAT MANUAL TRANNY SWAPS FOR THE SC 400 ARE QUITE COMPLICATED... BUT I DO UNDERSTAND THAT ANYTHING IS MADE POSSIBLE IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY... DURING MY SUSPENSION PERIOD... I WILL BE WORKING ON THE APPEARANCE OF THE VEHICLE... ITS CURRENTLY DROPPED WITH EIBACHS/ TOKICOS... I HAVE THE DEPARTURE 3'S FROM GARAGE SPL IN JAPAN... 5 1/2 " TIPS... AB-FLUG BODY KIT... SIDES... BACKS... FRONT WAS WRECKED AFTER HAVING 3 ACCIDENTS... ML320... E320... AND A STINKING FORD TRUCK OLD SCHOOL... I DEFINITELY WANT A HOOD SCOOP... OR A CF HOOD OF SOME SORT... I THINK THE AUTOCOUTURE HOOD SCOOP LOOKS NICE... BUT I AM UNABLE TO FIND LINKS IN REGARDS TO THE PURCHASE OF THE HOOD... I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO INSTALL THE 97+ TAIL LIGHTS... BUT I DIDNT KNOW IF THEY FIT EXACTLY... AND WHAT OTHER PARTS ARE NEEDED OUTSIDE THE FACTORY TAIL LIGHT... WIRING... BULBS... HARNESSES... ETC... IM ALSO LOOKING TO REDO THE ENTIRE INTERIOR... PREFERRABLY BLACK... BUT WHITE IS ACCEPTABLE... MEANING ANYTHING ON THE INTERIOR I WOULD LIKE TO MATCH... TAN IS GAY... IF ANYONE ON THE SITE HAD INPUTS OR INFORMATION REGARDING SUCH CHANGES... PLEASE REPLY... OPINIONS ON MOTORS... INFORMATION ON PRICING... INFORMATION ON DEALERS AND FABRICATORS... OR INFORMATION ON RELATED TOPICS... ALL ARE WELCOME... PLEASE POST FREELY... AND LET A BROTHER KNOW... I WANNA HAVE THE SICKEST LEX IN THE BAY AREA... HOOK A BROTHER UP... AITE THAN... IM OUT... TAKE CARE...

1st off turn off your caps lock, lol and to clear up some misinformation in your post the 6cylinders are all Inlines not V's.

2nd most of these topics have been discussed in the past please try the magical search button/advanced search link.

Interesting so you want everyone to repost things from the past? If your serious about the swap or conversions your best bet is to read over the previous threads. Their is alot of valuable information. If you construe this as not contibuting something positive I'm sorry. I'm willing to answer questions but tend to stick specific questions not general information (which is available in past threads).

I refuse to answer any of those questions just on principal now. If you're not willing to to use the search function and help yourself out than why should anyone fo out of their way for you? Responding that way to other CL members who are only trying to help you out will not get you any help. You might not think they helped but no one is going to sit and type a 2 page answer for your questions so they did the best they could.
