Man this is so badass! I have an 03 is300 & I can relate on what you said about it being underpowered with its original set up. I have been thinking about an LS swap so much lately, I’m glad I found this video, it convinced me a little more 😂 great build dude! Excited to see more
Awesome build! I'm surprised I haven't seen this car around. I recognize several roads you turned on and off of. The area you drove has been my favorite cruise since I was a teenager.
Great build. I have a 2005 factory MT. With the over the roof prices of GTE engines, I changed my plan from "how fast" to "how far" my car will go. It's great to see alternative builds. Thanks. BTW, you should sell me your sports design wheels in your garage, lol. :D
Gotta love those Virginia backroads haha L’s swapped is is my literal dream car, I’m located in va as well, if you ever decide to sell the car I would be forsure interested!
Appreciate you making this video! Good luck with your RUclips channel keep making content there is a big fan base with first gen is300. What did the swap cost you without the price of the car?
Hey man I’m in Virginia too! Nice to see these videos. I have a sportcross and I’m planning on doing a turbo build and a 1UZ swap on another. How’d you pass emissions in VA? Or inspection
Nice man! No emissions testing down here in Richmond and I have my own inspection license, although there’s really no reason it wouldn’t pass. Good luck on your build! 🤙🏻
Oh that’s nice, I’m in Fairfax county stuff here sucks. I wish I had relatives that lived in non emission testing states but I don’t have any. I’m trying to figure out a way and thanks! I subscribed to your channel
You should have told me you had a RUclips channel. I’m glad I found it off of your IG. I’m subscribed now, this is a awesome project. Your going to have to let me put your car on my channel. #YourNewCoworker
For the suspension stuff? Head over to www.shopfigs.com and search by model, they have all the options there. I’ve bought a lot of stuff from him, great company! 🤙🏻
Lol 11 years as a lexus tech and the first thing you do is rip the motor out! Rule 1 of modifications is that is will always be a lot more expensive than you thought.. The LS is probably lighter than the motor you took out?

You end up doing it?
Nice is300 build, I have a 2002 is300 with an ar5 and will eventually go turbo on it. For front calipers the ls400's are a pretty good value.
They stop the same but look bigger I would recommended. Get the isf ones or CTSV.

I’d keep the factory MT, you can always get a AT IS then you can do an LSx swap on that.
Literally dream car
I've been thinking about doing something similar in the future when I can afford it with a GS
plan on doing an ls swap on my 02 is300. she has 280k and is gettin kinda tired. time to ditch the 2j
Nothing wrong with getting a rebuilt title car if you are gonna keep it. Got a 2 door tahoe and drives good, people always want to buy it too.
Gotta love those Virginia backroads haha

We're definitely excited for more videos!
How does the GTO t56 shifter line up for the center console in a is300?
It sounds beautiful 👍🏻
Im sad you sold it but it was nice to see while you had it.
I want to get one like this...
Awesome build! I’m doing the 04 gto 5.7LS in my 01 is300. Did you use the DM wire loom? Working on my wiring, can’t wait to get this done!
I’d like to be pinned to this bc I want to do the same into my 2001 as well.
@@markmelton697 I ordered the kit from dedicated motorsports they make the swap so much easier.
@@ronzig-ziglow4214 I have checked them out. I’m currently deployed and would like to do the swap sometime next year so I’m researching now.
@@ronzig-ziglow4214how did the swap go?
@@2amText just doing last few things, welding o2 bungs, trans dipstick on the way, but it’s in and runs. Didn’t work on it much till recent.
Are you still in VA?! Cause I live in the Dale City area
a 5.3 would fit?

What happened to that beautiful GTO?
Unfortunately it was smashed up and a salvage yard pulled the engine to sell. That’s how I ended up with it.
I love this
What seats?
Corbeau CR1 seats. Unfortunately I think they were discontinued.

Nice car! Race a 2j ..
