Whatever you think it will cost you to do your engine swap.... double it!! I'm serious! I started out with the idea that I could do this on the cheap but then started adding more and more things I wanted to do to this engine before I put it in my truck.

NOW I'm putting on a custom programmable ECU, getting some super serious headwork done and on and on and on. I know I'm going to be making headers sometime as well. This all cost some bucks but it's all worth it.

I would just like to warn all the aspiring swappers. I've done a couple engine swaps in other vehicles and I was able to keep the budget pretty low on those since I had everything laying around that I needed. Most people don't have access to so many parts and in this case (all lexus parts) I really didn't have anything laying around that I could use. So make sure and save yourself some extra cash and also make sure you have plenty of free time ahead since you'll be doing every little thing yourself. Just do it.
