Since this 8½ year-old [edited from 7½ year-old because JDR76 pointed out my mistake for the whole world to see ] thread has been brought back to life I'll keep it going a bit longer.
With some GS 350 owners wanting significantly more horsepower and are willing to spend big bucks to get it, I'm a bit surprised that no one has sought to replace their GS 350 3.5L normally-aspirated V6 engine with the V35A-FTS 3.4L Twin Turbo V6 engine that powers the LS 500 with 416 hp @ 6,000 rpm and 442 lb.-ft. @ 1,600 rpm. This engine is bound to be in a junkyard somewhere in a totaled (2017-present) LS 500. I don't know that it will, but the Twin Turbo engine might just fit right in. The engine should easily get over 500 horsepower and over 500 lb.-ft. of low-end torque by increasing the boost just a few psi. That should please the power hungry!

For example, the 2.0L turbo engine in the little 2nd Gen Toyota MR2 two-seat, mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car has been swapped for a 3.5L V6 many, many times. Cost or difficulties are not an issue where there's a will to do it...because people find a way to do it! Unfortunately there will likely be no one that will put the LS500 engine in a 4GS...
