the GS400 is basically the same engine as the SC400's (1UZ-FE) I do not know the small changes made to give it the increase in horsepower of the similar year SC400. I have never seen a 3UZ-FE swap in a SC400 (engine from the 430 cars). But it does not seem like it would really be worth it unless you are really going to build the 430-

not to bash, but why would you ask this question, do you want to do it, or just wasting peoples time.

sc4 motor is proven to go to 300K if taken care of, in any event swappping in a used sc400/ls400 motor will be easier and cheaper than a gs motor.
