Lightbulb i cant find anywhere!!!!!!

Hello i have a 95 sc300 that i picked up not to long ago. When i was original looking for a sc i want the 400 but none was near me. i like the 2jzgte but i love that v8 sound.

I want to know with the experience the people in this forum have, can i put a 1uzfe in my SC300 with ease and what is required to do the job? pardon my ignorance.

into this:

I've never seen someone ask this question before. I've seen SC400's with 1JZ's or 2JZ's dropped in, but never the other way around. I would imagine that it wouldn't be any harder than a regular 1JZ or 2JZ swap. Hopefully someone can give some input on this.

Yea definatly would be easier to trade for a 400. I'm sure there are some ppl on this forum that would do that in a heartbeat..

Putting an 1UZ into an sc3 would be kind of redundant in a sense. It'd be better to just trade your sc3 for an sc4. If you are dead in love with your current ride and just a V8 in it..dont bother with a 1UZ, and go for an LS swap. Just my 2 cents.

If you are bothering with a swap, make it worth while and do a 1/2 JZ or LS. Goodluck!

Best,
yarthsa,

Come on guys, give a little love for the V8! As stated, its probally not a hard swap but finding a SC400 should be a snap.

I agree with the people who recommended to simply trade for SC 400. NJ should have a few (autorader.com lists 19 within 200mi of Trenton).
