Is this possible for me to swap out my V6 with the engine from the GS400? How hard would it be? Any major changes needed? Help because I am seriously thinking about doing this mod. (Have a great deal on a GS400 engine from friend!!!)

Hubbard why would you do that? That is a huge endeavor to undertake. Why not just see if someone can tweak a Toyomoto 2JZ turbo kit for your car. It may not need much tweaking at all. Why go 230rwhp for a $10k engine swap if you can get 450rwhp for a $7500 kit?

I totally agree with Hermosa, if your looking for more power,
get a turbo kit for your 2JZ. If you want some serious power, rebuild your bottom end with some Pauter rods and JE pistons, polish and port your head and add new retainers valves and springs, cams,cam gears, fmic, fuel system, T-66 turbo,HKS vpc,gcc,evc ez, and a built trans and rear end and you should be in the 11's.
The 2JZ has got to be one of the best engines ever built. It can handle ****loads of power even on stock internals.
