so ive been thinking. what would it take to swap an engine from a 400/430 into a 2gs 300? does anyone know of anyone that has attempted this or at least even thought about it?

 

a quick drive to a dealership and maybe a couple grand?

 

I'm sure it could be done but if you were going to the trouble of a swap I'd think it'd make more sense to do a GTE which is probably why we haven't heard more about a V8 swap.

 

keep in mind the price of a crate lsx swap has come down a ton, those are by far the easiest motors to swap into cars.

i think the gte swap would be easier since it is well documented

and i 2nd the if your car runs fine and you want a v8 trading in due to easiness of a trade vs pia of trouble shooting a swap

 

I would probably just save as much as i could, then sell the 300 and buy a 400. Who knows what could go wrong with that engine swap?

 

Do a LS6 swap...
They have 2JZGTE mount kits for it ... And then rear exhaust turbo it..
Be the fastest GS too

 

Wasn't your vehicle the one with piston ring problems?
It would be easiest to just do a 2jz-gte swap.

 

and what dealership do you think is gonna ACTUALLY do a 300 to a 400 swap? none i know of

 

If you would do an is-f engine swap then im all ear's.

 

it not worth it just go with a 2jgte swap

 

I think he's talking about trading in and buying up....

 

dude. come on now. don't make me break out the sarcasm tags haha

 

Do the 2JZ GTE swap.. you won't regret it one bit!!

 

yea im the one with the piston ring problems. thanks for remembering lol. im just throwing out ideas

 

Agreed...None of the dealership that I've known of can do or wants to do a 300 to a 400 swap. Easier to sell the 300 and get yourself the one you really want...that my $0.02.
