Default our car with the heart of a 430

i have wondered if this has been done or if it is possile since i watched chip foose build that nasty is430 years ago, i was searching for misc parts today and i stumbled upon a widebody on the vertex site which is labled "wide body sc430" no motor shots to confirm it though, atleast not there. has anybody seen or done or heard of this happening? and would it be worth the effort to have it done?

so sc430 wide body on sc300/400
-or-
sc430 engine in sc300/400
Why the 4.3l go with the tundra 4.7l easy swap.\Here is the sc430 engine mounts... look familar?
now you just need a rear sump. looks like it would work in a aristo.

I think what he is trying to ask is "Has anyone put the 4.3L engine in the SC300/SC400? because the title of a widebody SC300/400 was SC430 but I was not able to confirm if it had done the 4.3L swap."

it's a waste of time. The 98+ SC400 has a pretty identical engine to the 4.3, so why would any one bother swapping and engine to makes only 15 more ft of torque?!
