Is 350 v6 fit into the is300

Just me day dreaming. So can the 3.5l v6 from the is350 fit into the is300. Say a 3.5l v6 turbo would be pretty nice and different from the 2jz-gte that everyone does.

Different, yes, but better? Not so sure. You can easily find mods for the 2JZ-GTE - there is a lot of aftermarket support for the engine you already have in your car. The same can't really be said for the V6 in the IS350. Plus, getting all the computers to talk to eachother would be a nightmare... might as well sell the IS300 and buy a 350.

The only successful engine swaps I have seen for the IS300 is the 2JZgte, the 4.3 1UZ Lexus V8 ie, IS430., and yes some crazy people did a LS1 swap in a IS300!!!
