not meaning to be a spoilsport but EVERYONE is looking for these things.What you would need is a GZ50 Century (98+ model)
halfcut and as many wreckers/importers as ive ever been to ive always asked and never to any avail. the problem seems to be that they are still quite new, and also very pricey which means they arent bought by shmo's who smash em up then send them to the wrecker. if you did have any luck id love to hear about it.
youd need a reasonable sized engine bay for it though, but damn its an impressive looking piece of motor!

if the buyer is willing to spend the dosh would it possible to contact toyota for an engine package?
also does it have to be a 1GZ-FE? cause the yanks have some pretty hot 5 litre 1UZ-FE's in their stadium dirt trucks etc that might be easier/cheaper to come by..

asked my mate at toyota about the 1GZ, we checked it out and its on the imports computer but the system refused to give a price on it. probabably not a good sign.....................
however if you are willing to shell out that much cash i do know someone that is the man at finding stuff in Japan 
pm me and ill give you his number.

The problem with the 1GZFE is that Toyota don't sell a lot of Century's. Its the sort of car the Japanese Royal Family drives around, so you're more likely to find an engine from a late model Bentley than the Century.
