A friend is doing a 4.7 Toyota in a Tacoma. If that pans out, may be the route I go eventually. Had a 4.7 in a 2000 Tundy. Sedate enough for DD. Enough zing for the occasional smokey burnout.

Or.

LS swap in FJ... Save FJ V6 for Tacoma some day.

Or.

Leave em BOTH the hell alone.

 

Less work and safer to leave be but where is the fun in that?

 

Personally, I'd go to the darkside...

 

Mmmmmmm
Awful expensive looking.

No pussy auto. Rowing gears like Ronnie Sox.
Had more in it but school came first.
Should have kept it and said fu to school cause it didn’t help me start higher up or teach me anything.

 

Yea
I miss my 67
But I like my house

 

Oh man, sooo nice! I love a car with serious attitude.

I still miss my first car. POS 6 cyl, but fun

 

If my son wears out the Tacoma and I'm still on the upside of sod, I'd like to drop a diesel in it. That would be pretty cool.

 

Same as I'm doing now plus a occasional street race

Already have a .060 over 350sbc that's 500hp but it's 18 yrs old about 20k miles on it and it's tired , using oil and blowby . At .060 overbore the block can't be resused so I would need to get a new block anyways

Can fix the issues with the cage and other items for not that much $$$$ , talked with a race fab shop the other day !!

Last time I built / assembled a motor myself it kicked the rods out within a few months had bearing clearance issues and low oil press , don't want to go down that road again . The parts alone for the 434sbc total $7500 and the block being the most $$ at $3500 , those Dart Little M blocks are pricey but are bullet proof !!!


It's either that or maybe getting something such as this !!!

This isa affordable fully built NHRA Legal and licensed for the street

My mother-in-law had a 4 door. That damn car was a trooper. She drove it till we gave her the 92 Sentra in 94

 

Plenty of diesel Tacos in Venezuela. Can anyone say "roadtrip"? Just drive an old American made one down and drive the diesel back. Not like the border people would care.

 

Nice Maverick !!

I might look at this next week !!!

Looks like a lot of work though !!

I don't think my CCW will be honored south of Arizona..

 

I had a 302 Grabber for a short spell.
V8 in a roller skate.

 

Man that's a lot of torque on a unibody car. I wonder if it still drives straight. I saw a Grabber at an autoshow last year. Red, just like the one my wife used to drive, though hers was a 6.

 

Not bad for $900 forty years ago...

 

Vegas never go straight.
10 inch or so less wheel base than your camaro.

 

A good friend of mine had an awesome Nova that he used to street race. He has a Boston accent, so it took me a while to figure out what a "Chevy Novaaaaah" was.

 

Not bad !!!


20 years ago I paid $4k for my Camaro , nowadays that $$ won't even get you a rolling shell . I've seen many 70-73 Camaro rusted out parts cars going for almost $10k nowadays !!

 

I was 10 minutes late for a Monza Spyder stick car with a done right (cooling jackets) 400.

 

Just found this and even comes with a 2 yr warranty and $9k cheaper than I was quoted and pump gas friendly !!!!
