    Just from a size perspective it should fit because the GX Lexus uses a 4.7 L V8.

    Pretty sure there’s a YouTube series where a guy shows how he did exactly this. And kept 4x4.

    yes that guy.

    I’ve also seen multiple LS swaps.

    There seems to be a pending GX460 swap. Supposedly that chain timed V8 is better than belt timed older one.

    when there’s a will there’s a way.
    Pretty sure there’s an adapter for BMW i6 diesel.

    not to mention design in CAD an adapter to fit something else.
