Default Stock Motor Swap

Hey guys, interested in someone in the Orange County area?

I wanted to swap a non vvti 1uz in place of my stock 2j in my 93sc300.


Think this would be an expensive swap right? Fairly easy for the average shop? Still doing my research, but I'm pretty sure it is a pretty straight forward job, considering the SC3400s.

Really? I didn't think it would be too much.

Reason why I'm not buying a sc400 is beacuse my SC has alot of body/audio/interior and a w58.

There are many resources on the internet for the NA-T, supraforums has a lot of people that do the NA-T, im sure clublexus does too. But I would have to agree with the NA-T, because your not getting that much more benefit by putting the V8 in there.
