Anyone know if any other motors will bolt into a stout frame? i know i can put Anything in there, lookin to see if something may bolt straight up tho?? Thanks
im not sure if a 20/22r will bolt right in but it should be pretty close. they are relatively simple to wire up with a carb and should have very similar size dimensions. as well as more available parts and better power. it may raise the nose a bit though since they dont weigh as much.
always wondered this myself.......... what are the dimension between the frame rails and length anyways? how about a 5mge.........
Im not sure what a 5mge is.. this stout is the first yota i have owned.. ill measure between the frame this weekend and let u guys know.. thanks for the input!!
So your asking if there is a motor that just drops in or other motor mounts that fit?even a 22r is a tight fit in the bay.The placement of the motor mounts is odd and the 4spd top loader is short.I have many different mounts if I can help.
5M/7M is the inline 6 from supras from 82-92. id say a nice 20 or 22r would be plenty. those trucks are tiny.
a detroit 353 might fit. it would bring the front down though. its a heavy 3 cylinder. i dream of one day doing a diesel AWD conversion to my 73
The stock motor wasn't light either.Still triing to get a scale to wiegh it. Found some pics of my 22r fit, the differance is its on a 93 frame.The motor and stock radiator left no room even after moving it [the motor]back to the fire wall.Not moved in the photo.
im totally distracted by that oil cap. i want one. lol. and that does look tight. but pusher electric fans should work. maybe run the later style radiators that are thinner.
I have seen some thing radiators out there.... I dont know if the R series have heating issues though. Go v6, its the length of a 3 cylinder . Problem solved!
man that sure looks like a tight fit.. did it pretty much almost go right in??? i wanna keep the 4 on the column, but i guess i cant if i do swap the motor out.. im gonna try to keep what i got, but i will definatley keep you guys up to date.. thanks for your help
