All will bolt into sc/mkiv with minimal modification. LS400 ecus will work with SC400s (albeit with some errors). Dashes are almost the same between LS400/SC400. Other minor things electrical things.

Look at it in a logical / business way. There is no way in hell Toyota, who spent close to $1 Billion on LS400 development, is about go developing an entirely new platform (GS/SC/MKIV). The LS400 got shortened for the GS, which further got shortened for the SC. The MKIV was the smallest of all of them.

Dont know why people are so butthurt over sharing a platform?
are you sure about that? Toyota spent way more than that on the very limited production LFA.

the SC400 and LS400 maybe related but what does that have to do with the MK4 Supra? almost nothing from those two cars will work in the MK4.

people are getting butt hurt because no one wants a MK5 to weight and drive like a LS.
