Will an LS1 fit under the hood?

now i am not going to do this anytime soon but i was wanting to know if a LS1 would fit under the hood. i know that there is going to have to be a lot of modifications but my concern is the area i have to work with. does anyone know this answer.

 

An LS1 V8 under the hood of a Taco?! sounds like a beast!

 

yeah im going for full blown monster prerunner lol

 

throw an LS9 under the hood like in the new Corvettes. 638HP

 

HMMMM not a bad idea

 

damn it wont come out til 2009 as a crate

 

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.

 

definately lol i cant wait to be able to do it

 

lol want to help me put it in chris

 

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

 

an ls1 will work, there is a post with someone doing one on XRU. and here are the motor mounts.

You could certainly find a way to put the LS1 in the tacoma.

 

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

 

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

 

this guy did it to his older 4runner.
