Looking at a 2016 with 162,000 miles. Seems like too many miles. I think I will continue the thrill of the hunt.....

only 150k less miles than me

Likely lots of highway which is going to be much less wear than a mainly city vehicle like mine (2013 with 166k). I’d consider it if it was a bargain, though you might still be rebuilding that engine in 300k miles…

Moving forward.

Dude! As you know the previous really nice Land Cruiser that I purchased 90 days a go is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Or rather a Dawg without clothes! I will ease into this next purchase with eyes wide open........(fool me once shame on you.....fool me twice shame on me)

I'll clear some of this up... I have a 2014 Lx570 that lost a motor at 100k. Ate the bottom end, oil starvation somehow. I was faced with the same options you're looking at. I chose to buy a low mileage (roughly 60k) 2021 tundra 3ur from a reputable salvage outfit - vin matched and pictures of the wrecked truck for $3700. Pulled vehicle history report on the donor to verify info. I did all the work in my own shop. I'm actually right down the road from you in Greenville SC. I completed the swap and have about 3k miles on the 570 with no issues. There are some subtle differences but all the parts can come off your old motor. Off the top of my head, you need to use the LC throttle body, intake manifold, exhaust manifolds, upper oil pan (LC has oil level sender), exhaust manifolds (just have an extra stabilizer bracket), LC fuel rail (return hardline lands in different location I did use tundra injectors). Newer tundra has a heated plenum for the air pump under intake manifold. You can use either. I just looped the coolant lines and used the tundra one. LC is not heated in that year. No issues with that so far. Had I know of the option at time of the swap I would have done the Hewitt-Tech air injection delete at time of install. The donor motor had a busted front cover. I used the original LC front cover - wanted to reseal cam towers, valley plate and front cover and replace bank 1 timing tensioner anyway even though the donor wasn't leaking. Getting into the front cover gave me a good excuse to do all. Be happy to help you out with any questions along the way. It's not difficult, just lots of pieces. The time consuming part was figuring out all the differences and sourcing parts. Salvage yards and dealers wanting to validate vin compatibility is ridiculous. I get on auto trader and find a vin for XXXX year whatever make/model and give them one that matches the part I'm looking at. Keep a list of vins in my phone so i can get my LX parts at the Toyota dealer.

Thanks for the clarification on this.. really good to hear the differences are easily manageable.

Thanks for that info also. It looks like this is a viable option for those that have the energy, where-with-all, and gumption. At this point in my LC journey I need to concentrate on rehabbing my back and catching fish, etc. My wrench turning days are behind me.
But this is good data.
Seriously though, how many of these 5.7's break?? Reverse lottery win!
