Lt1 swap for 1UZ-FE
Okay people, I've blown my last LT1. Now I'm wondering, if it is at all possible (without breaking the bank) to swap out my LT1 engine for a 1992 Lexus SC400 1UZ-FE motor. It'll be going into a 1994 firebird. I know that it's a sin to do so but, the Lexus motor seems almost weightless and, a pretty strong 32 cam V8. So, is it possible to do so and, how much am I looking to invest???

My engine builder is the only fabricator that makes a complete kit to convert the SC400 to manual utilizing the W58 or R154 tranny. Here are some example pics of the parts 
We also just got in another SC400 power plant for something crazy

Thanks for info but.....
You took way too long to reply. As a result of that long period of waiting, I traded my SC400 for an LT1 and tranny. Not a bad trade, considering the LT1 only has 4000 miles on it. I had to jump at that one. Thanks anyways..
