LS3 V8 Swap Lexus IS300 – 6 speed, Fully Built, 400hp+! (LS1, LS2, LS6, LSX)
As much as I hate to do this, the time has come for me to sell this awesome LS3 IS300. For me this was the most perfect car – the power of a Corvette, the quality and reliability of a Lexus, and the practicality of a sedan. Truly “one car to do it all”. An excellent daily driver, track car, or whatever else you might have in mind.
Quick Summary
* 2001 Lexus IS300
* LS3 6.2L V8 swap (same motor as the 2008-2013 Corvette for those not in the know). Bottom end had 50k miles at time of swap; heads were brand new.
* Dyno’d @ 459hp/ 425ft lbs. Car was dyno’d with an aftermarket cam that has since been removed, however it is included in the sale. I would estimate the cam at 40-50hp, so the car is probably around 410-420rwhp as it sits.
* Best ¼ Mile = 11.8 @ 120mph
* T56 6 speed transmission
* KW Variant 3 Coilovers
* Original development car for Dedicated Motorsports who pioneered the IS300 LSX swap. Build is fully documented in multiple threads linked below.
* Less than 15k miles on swap (182k on the chassis)
* Interior = 9.5. Seats, carpet, and panels are near perfect.
* Exterior = 8.5. Paint is in great condition overall but is original and does have some imperfections commensurate with age/mileage. Certainly a presentable daily driver, but not quite a show car/ trailer queen.
* Engine Bay = 10. All wires have been properly wrapped, covered, and soldered. Additionally the engine bay has been wire tucked; looks even better than OEM.
* Weighs 3374 (full tank of gas, including all stereo equipment, spare tire, etc). The LS3 weighs a few pounds less than the 2JZ-GE it replaced, so the excellent weight balance of the IS300 is unchanged by the swap.
