UZ is one that I've been tempted by but we don't get many V8 Toyotas/Lexus here so again, not that cheap and need work to make similar power. LS just isn't an option here, we don't get any of the models that use them so you either have to get one imported or from an imported car, so guess what, they aren't cheap.
Sorry, didn't realize you from the UK until after my post.The swap starts to make more sense on that side of the pond. I say go for it!
