Motor arved today. Everything on the motor checked out ok, my one complaint is they spray painted parts of the engine silver and black to make it look newer. o well, I would diffenently order from them again.

5 hours later I got the harness swapped over, throttle body swapped, trans and torque converter mounted.![](http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm82/jd_kittle05/lexus002.jpg)

Why did you go with another ge motor? What was the price difference between the motor you got and the tt aristo motor? Also did you shim the actuators on the tranny while you have it out?

No I didn't shim it, what will that do? Herd of people having Problems with the tranny not shifting at high rpm after the turbo swap. Would this help?
