Actually, I was right with my first post. I think that previous link the guy didn't finish. Here's what I meant to post:

I still think that LS^2 swap is a myth, guy posted a few pictures of it incomplete, 0 running videos, and then disappeared...

i'm a skeptic until video evidence shows otherwise.

What options exist to put the LX45/47/57 into a UCF2x?
Does anyone know what the physical size differences are?
Bellhousing patterns the same or similar?

The integration of the basic engine and ECU should not be that hard if the overall size differences are similar and the ECU can be run divorced of its additional accessories...

Has anyone cracked the Toyota ECU mapping in the newer cars/trucks to offer a flasher based tuning option or even a hondata type system.

I think a UCF2x LS570 would be a pretty entertaining car to drive!

IF/After I sell my 240 and transition my LS into a drift car I plan to go this route. The LSX engines are all pretty universal (as long as they are the same generation). You can take a LM4/LQ4/LQ9 (iron block) and run car ACC (cts,f body, gto) to gain hood clearance. The iron and aluminum block are identical as far as mounting point go, just different weights. I'm not sure if the TR6060 bellhousing pattern is the same on the T56, I don't believe so. The GTO T56 has a few differences from the F-Body T56 (shifter assembly and bottom "shift plate", 3rd gear ratior).


I sold my SC to SIKKY to make a LSX mount kit, which should come out next year. Problem being is the LS and SC 1UZs run different oil pans. I bet SIKKYs RX7 oil pan will work with the LS sump style and provide clearance for the steering rack.

Someone hit up SIKKY with an LS400 and blank check.

I meant keeping a Lexus engine, not a Chevy engine.
