TACUNDRA - 5.7L 3URFE swapped 2nd gen project

Discussion in '2nd Gen. Tacomas (2005-2015)' started by MikieSwartz, Jan 13, 2019.

?

Will I end up with a functional 5.7L Tacoma?

  1. Yes. I watched you're video and I have faith in you.

    37.8%
  2. Probably. I mean, you already have a whole Tundra for parts.

    41.1%
  3. Maybe. If you're a Toyota tech and have an engineering degree.

    14.3%
  4. Probably not. If it was possible, other guys would already have it done.

    7.6%
  5. No. You're blowing smoke or you're delusional.

    7.1%

    I watched the new video. Awesome footage, especially the girl dancing over the V8! Can't wait to see the progress!

    Good video. You're right about TW there have been guys to inquire about the 5.7 swap and most say it can't be done. But those naysayers forget that others have paved the way for other swaps or big mods when it was said it can't be done. People just like to be negative these days.

    They lack imagination and creativity. Once they are shown how to open the lid to the box they're stuck in, possibilities will be endless.

    Yep unless they are shown it can be done of course they say it can't. You are spot on with this assessment! But I grew up around old school hot rodders that were doing wild things making the impossible possible.

    Hey guys. Nothing really new to report, but I did make a video showing how we got this thing in the garage and up on the lift. Then you can get a look underneath it too. Looks like there is no damage to the engine or transmission. https://youtu.be/0h4Hd4Q69BM

    I’m new around here, but not to swaps. I don’t believe any swap is impossible if you are willing to think outside the box. On another note, great production on the video man. I’m looking forward to seeing how this goes for you, good luck!

    Hey guys. I just want to make sure you all know I'm waiting til after this Motorama show (Feb 16-17) to do any more work to the truck cause it has to be in the show. So I can't really rip into it until after that. Then I have to get the trailing arms and 1 ton rear done before I can tackle the engine swap. I know I have a lot of people interested. Didn't want to leave you hanging!
    Also got 2 other truck projects right now too - my 96 Tacoma (which is totally functional) and my Drift Truck - sorry, not a Tacoma, its a 92 Ram50 and it's got a Honda s2000 engine. I'm adding a turbo to it right now, aiming for 600 HP - Videos are on the YouTube channel if you're interested.
    And here's the link to the post about my 96 Tacoma on here if anyone wants to check it out:

    Hopefully the 5.7 won't be that tight in the Tacoma! lol

    The swap has been in there for a few years now. But the turbo is brand new - still working on it. But yeah, same channel. Thanks for the interest - I really owe the TacomaWorld community for a lot of new subscribers!
