Default maybe a dumbe question maybe not about gs and is-f

ive done quite a few swaps before obviously older cars are not this technical, but if the is shares the same engine as the gs. does the is-f engine fit in our gs? sounds interesting but $$$$$.

lexus already had trouble fitting the 460 engine in the 3gs chassis. the 5l engine in the isf, might fit but probably even more work needed, and maybe the hood needs to be modified

the isf hood is quite different from the normal 2is in order to clear the engine
