Very cool, did you do it yourself? Is the engine stock or does it have headers, exhaust or tune?

I am also interested in the performance stats, 1/4mile or 0-200 numbers would be interesting to see.

This is quite a perfect build, No time to test the number yet but i think everything works fine, both the engine and everything in the car.
I swap the engine,gear box,diff and so on from isf to make the mechanism work properly.And a isf dashboard is also swapped in order to correct the RPM display, although it's cool,i still like the elegant dashboard from gs.
I also install a equal length header with high flow cats and Exart catback to get good sound.Moreover, i get brembo brakes from isf and some chassis parts from gsf to enhance handling.
In results, the car handling is better and it's easier to drive than before.The engine responses much quicker, the torque gain becomes smoother, high pitch exhaust sound and aggressive down shifts in high rpm makes it funnier to play.I will upload the soundtrack later.
I treat it as a everyday fun car rather than a racing car, so I couldn't tell much about the acceleration number now,but it should be close to a isf with header.
I just like the 3gen V8 gs so much and i have been thinking about this build for a long time, and finally come up with a good store to achieve this, I'm glad to share more details with you

Default Dream build

I have a gs460, looking to do essentially the same thing. How many miles were on your 430 body before you decided to do the swap? Considering doing at some point, just trying to decide when.

I drive original gs430 for about two years and the engine accidentally broken so i decided to do this swap lol.
the original car has run about 14k miles.

What are the exact GSF chassis parts you used to bolster the handling?
