HI Everyone,
Sorry for digging up an old thread, but I've been thinking about an LS1/2/3 swap on my 944, just held up by the cost of these engines this side of the pond, when my brother sent me the link to this thread - I don't suppose there are any more updates on it?

I have been asked about the 1uzfe swap from a few people and realize that it will be done mostly in other parts of the globe, so I'll make basic kits as I've already done. Stateside, I agree power, cost, availability of parts, the LS wins. I'll be supercharging (procharger) my 5.3 LS engine this winter as I've seen the factory 5.3 put out huge #'s. I have also seen a charged 2uzfe 2nd gen Supra blow the doors off an LS3 Cowmaro locally and the guy said it was all factory bottom end. For those that know me I may even mate the 3uz directly to the 951 trans and stick it midship with some ITB's. You'll know it's me when you see them in tha back glass.
