There's a reason why Orido replaced his Toyota/Lexus V8 with an LS engine.
- the Lexus V8 constantly blew (more than 3x?) even though it was built with aftermarket pistons and rods and had power and tuning problems
- the LS is more reliable, even in stock form
- the LS is simpler and has less parts..therefore less maintenance
- the LS weighs 125lbs lighter than the Lexus V8, yet makes much more hp and gobs of torque, even in stock form
- and so on....
As much as I am bias towards and love Japanese cars and other Japanese stuff, would like to keep it Japanese engined, and also really dislike domestics... The LS is simply a better engine and the smartest decision for a swap.
