engine swap info i just typed in engine swap info on yahoo search and it pops up as engine swap info the site link was mindspring.com/~jayk3/toyota/swap.htm it says the lift may be reqiured because of the rear mounted distributor on chevy v8 and you will need a 4 core radiator and you have to do some sheetmetal work to move the radiator foward an 1 1/2'' -2'' i think im going to look for a ford 5.0 it does say the toyota 5 speed is strong enough to handle the v8 if you dont abuse it. why would i even do a v8 swap if i wasnt going to abuse it.:
my 5.0 has a c-6 behind it,and is bolted in the same exact location as the 5-speed that was behind the 4 banger.....
I think it's the perfect swap for you NAM Although it may be too much power for you! I'm going vortec 5.3 t56 6 speed no body lift or trans tunnel cut required Check out this guys 89 with an 04 GTO driveline Test drive time. - LS1TECH This is the same as any lsx, vortec, ls1-2-3 swap A 5.3 is the cheapest way... mine is a 326 ci motor with 320hp 340ft aluminum block from an 05 Sierra got it shipped to me for 850$ Came as a complete pullout I'm using corvette engine accessories for better clearance The trucks have a tall intake and the waterpump and belts are further forward Guys drop them in hotrods all the time since they have more engine room Gm finally built a motor that out lasts there trucks Meaning most of the wrecks get there motors pulled for hot rods and swaps not as stock replacement motors Steel block vortec 4.8's and 5.3's can be had low mileage for under $500 And there is a ton of bolt on parts and swap info Can't wait to get back to mine Guess I'll just have to suffer till I finish my 22rte build...
