This is going to be sweet! I'd love to see a 3.3L in this beast! Maybe a 5 speed (U151) down the road! ![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
Better do the timing belt on the replacement engine before putting it in the car.

Looks like a very good project. I suspect the mechanical compatibility is going to be only half of the transplant effort. I hope you also got the electronics from the donor vehicle. Good luck.
