Default Lexus SC300/SC400

I am currently looking into a Lexus SC400 and I am going to look at it on Tuesday. I have browsed for some Lexus web forums and I found some but I was wondering if anyone knows anymore. Also is there any stores specified for these cars? Info on the 2JZGTTE swap? Thanks.

That swap is a monster >< it's much easier to find a sc300 since it has the 6wiring vs. the 8wiring. What most people do is find a soarer front clip and do it that way. I've seen Soarer front clips go for ~$3500 shipped. While your doing the conversion, do the auto-manual, and if you got some time do a RHD. So best bet...find a beater sc300-400, buy a Soarer front clip, and please find one with a BLACK interior that Tan Interior is gross. hope this helps.
