Thumbs up

They are fun cars to drive for one thing. The motors on those can be made to produce horsepower ,but intake and exaust won't even get ya close. Some what of a heavyer vehicle. If you want to put any kind of forced induction stay with the 92-94 model motors becuase they have thicker well made pistons. People convert the automatics into manual transmissions . The motors on those cars are land, air ,and sea certified so what more can you ask. If you want more info on the cars you can go to www.clublexus.com or www.lextreme.com which is mainly based on the 1uz motors. I say go for it man I have that motor in my car and it is sweet! Good luck with the search!
