Errr...1UZ? imagines collective groans from other Toymods regulars who know my "bias" Still, if (and it's a big IF) it would fit, you have a number of potential advantages... A) It weighs considerably less than a commodore V6 (and a number of the Toyota engines under consideration, being all-alloy) B) Inherent design strength of the engine - 6-bolt mains, forged steel crank, forged pistons etc (Lets just say that it is everything the Holden engine is not - ie. smooth, powerful, LONG-lasting etc etc) C) Could (possibly) be a better option than an L-6, as you could potentially "site" it further back in the engine bay to achieve better front/rear weight bias. (That's a guess, BTW) D) Parts availability isn't an issue, as these engines existed in the locally-delivered LS400s up to '96 (Change to VVTI in '97), not to mention being in increasing abundance at import parts dealers...(For that, you can read 1G-X, 3S-X etc) E) The fact that you probably wont need parts at anything like the rate you would for a Holden V6 (I'm told the timing chains and rear main seals are a BIG problem with these engines). Just a few thoughts...I guess what most people are saying is "Don't sell yourself, or the car, short by fitting something which could only be considered "retro-grade". PS. Do not fit a GEN3 as I'm told that there are a number of reliability issues with these. PPS. Whatever you do, I wish you good luck with it - Just remember that, whatever you think it will cost, it will end up costing roughly double that! [Report message to a moderator]
