Even with the flat rate $65 shipping the price was still better than local. If you have a parts list, this is the way to get what you'll need for a great price. Local dealers will price match so that's what I've done lately. Some parts are out of stock/production so not all Toyota parts are available now. Get as much as you think you'll need to get maintenance up to date. Suspension bushings being one of those very desirable parts to have taken care of.

Great parts diagrams on that site. Helps identify part numbers accurately even if they don't have the part.

I did not know that, very interesting.

Was this engine adapted from something else or designed just for the Lexus?

I think I saw on Hagerty it was developed for racing but they changed the class and it left them sitting on a race designed engine.Hello LS400.Yamae would probably know the story.

Its resemblance to a race engine platform (6 bolt cross mains and over square configuration) was confirmed in 2007 by David Currier (in an interview with v-eight.com), vice president of TRD USA, stating that the 1UZ platform was based on CART/IRL engine design. It was planned to be used on GT500 vehicles, however its subsequent use in the Daytona Prototype use had not been planned.

Also:

The FV2400-2TC derivative is one of the few road-going engines that is FAA approved for use in an airplane.
