Thanks to the Triad. Who are the Triad? Lextreme, JamesN & Stevechumo. Same Year, Same Model, Same Color but thre different paths.

We are about to install the 5.2L stroker in my LS400. JamesN will be coming over to help out. I am thinking about 2 pm this Sunday. Anyone interested in helping or just hanging out, please let me know. It should not take more then 3-4 hours. I am in Diamond Bar.

Guys,

Didnt happen today. My buddies were all busy and there is no one to help. I can not install the engine and transmission by myself. Perhaps Thursday afternoon.

Hit me up, maybe I can help if you end up doing it next weekend.

Lextreme

I think my friend reschedule for this Thursday afternoon and come by and give me a hand.

After few delays the engine was finally in. Thanks to Stevechumo and JamesN. All the hoses are plugged, all the plugs are in, the exhaust system was connected along with the driveshaft. So everything is in and really to fire up. But.... But... But... When we try to pull the engine out, please read this post http://lextreme.com/forums/showpost....0&postcount=10 We forgot to release the linkage and we broke the shifter mechanism and the starter system is associated with the shifting electonic. So I can not start the car until I find a 1995 to 1997 LS400 shifter. I openned up shifter and all the plastic were broken. Please see diagram http://lextreme.com/starter/starter-diagram.JPG

So we have to wait. Meanwhile here are some pictures... The engine looks complete stock.

FYI. The LS is alot harder to install than the SC. Alot of gymnastic to get the LS400 engine mounts in their position.
