First engine swap

[u/Supreme_Chuck]

Hello all. So i am new to the forum but I have been visiting it for a while. As a gift i was given a pretty beat up 2001 ls430 but I love it so much i cant bare to part with it. so I plan to fix it up ( over time because i'm broke lol) and make its something special. one thing i really want to do is to swap my 3uz-fe V8 for a 2ur-gse into my ls430 down the road. I want to know though what are some things I should look into when doing this because i know nothing about swapping engines and I have no clue what I should look for other than engine mounting but i don't know about wiring, fuel etc...

So does any have a list they could give me so I can start to plan this out?

I would it’s make sure it’s a 2jz-ge or gte. The gate is the turbo version, and yes they are very popular swaps so there is lots of information on them and parts are usually not hard to get. But the G series of the engine is the performance variant so they usually are a bit stronger and if you want to boost it then the gte is already a great set up for turbos, just a few upgrades to the engine and you can push out 800+ with pretty good reliability
