    It came with a Flowmaster 50 series I believe, so I took it to the exhaust shop and had them come off the exhaust manifolds, no converters and dumped off right after the cab

    So this is a 5 lug, correct?

    Any plans to beef up the rear end to avoid grenading it?

    Wheel hop? Slappers on the rear leaves?

    Tubbing the bed, shortened axles with a new diff?

    I dig it.

    did you use the manual fan on the 4.7 or go electric. Also when I did mine, I got a rolled tundra for 1100 and sold 1250 worth of parts off of it to fund the project. The cost was mostly my time.

    Great engine, I believe that's the same one that went a million miles in that million mile Tundra. Hopefully you post more pics of the swap! Great way to turn a Taco into a sleeper and leave all those Hemi fanboys scratching their heads! Lmao
