xtreme450 · 11-15-2008, 09:01 PM

kmrofka · 11-15-2008, 09:38 PM

An LS1 will fit under the hood of a taco. Your biggest concern will be the little things; ecu, mounts, transmission, drive shaft. Would like to see it done though.

kmrofka · 11-15-2008, 09:47 PM

definately lol i cant wait to be able to do it

chris4x4 · 11-15-2008, 10:21 PM

I got a chevy 350 to fit in a ford ranger, so it should be possible, Tacoma has a bit more room.

kmrofka · 11-15-2008, 10:28 PM

lol want to help me put it in chris

paintdiddy · 11-15-2008, 10:31 PM

hell yeah.how many people stuffed 350s in the older toyotas...like a million.these 2nd gen tacos are bigger than the older ones.

jaxchrisfla · 11-15-2008, 10:33 PM

Thing is, you can dam near fit anything into any vehicle. Just depends on how much time and money you want to put into it.

jaxchrisfla · 11-16-2008, 06:54 AM

yea, but he also gutted that whole car, and did major MAJOR!!!! modifications.

350TacoZilla · 11-16-2008, 07:35 AM

I have a small block in my tacoma and did before with factory frame axles...ect. it will physically fit no problem...for wiring painless makes a kit that is 4 wires to hook up and lets you use all factory sensors etc... also my suggestion would not be a LS1 out of camaro or vette... but either a 5.3L ls or 6.0L ls engine out of 99-04 chevy truck.. they are cheaper make more tq and are easier to get the wiring switched

RoyB · 11-16-2008, 07:49 AM

this guy did it to his older 4runner.
