Hi guys, just looking to get some basic answers on fitting an Ls400 motor into my is200. Not going to tune it but im a big lover of V8's (im a drag racer, what u expect lol) and looking to get just a little more shove. I am planning on buying a complete car to do the conversion with.
What is involved in the conversion, i understand the engine mounts are the same but need a 10mm spacer? what about the gearbox mount? Whats the deal with the wiring and ECU? wiring isnt a problem for me its just knowing what is needed to make all things work.
now the big one, id like to stay on a manual gearbox. Is this possible by using the IS200 gearbox? the reason i ask is i dont want to spend alot of money hunting down supra gearbox's etc. If i cant use the IS200 or even possibly the LS400 auto gearbox, then im not going to bother doing it as its just not worth my time as im planning on the the conversion taking a week or 2 (yes i know, i like to work fast) and on a minimal budget as possible (all my money ends up going on bike racing lol)
are there any other problems im likely to encounter?
cheers
john
