Hey LyFeWoRx. My inbox says it's empty... But yo, respect for havin' that dark red 92' SC400 with 240K. That's a testament to the 1UZ-FE's.
But I got an update. After contacting literally over fifty different "engine dealers" over the course of a week across America (and even Canada, oddly enough), the lowest mileage engine, from 93-94 I could find, was a 1UZ-FE from a 93 SC400 with 47,000 original miles. It was also one of the best priced, too. I'm happy about that.
So... the engine's gonna' arrive at my mechanic's in 5 to 10 business days, so I'll be keepin' you all informed. I wanna' make sure I clean and polish the engine before it's installed into the engine bay, so if anyone has any tips on cleaning the engine, hit me up.
