1998 Lexus SC400

1UZ-FE VVT-i | CD009 6-Speed Swap

Our SC400 running the factory 1UZ-FE VVT-i V8 paired with a Nissan CD009 6-speed manual transmission swap. Smooth V8 power with a proper third pedal — the way it should have been from the factory. The CD009 from the 350Z/G35 is a popular and proven manual swap for the SC400 platform, offering strong synchros and a clean shift feel behind the silky 1UZ.
