My engine swapped 3rd Gen build thread

Makes sense. As always, I lag behind in understanding things. What you did was OFF THE CHARTS. I bet you humbled many here.

Nice you did a nice job on this setup. Should be ale to find some aluminum spacer as well. What did you end up using to fill them in around the edges.

 

just wanted to give tony a hard time but yes....what david said

That shift sound on the drive away at the end sounds so crisp! It sounds like a v6... but it's rowdy for a Tacoma. I love it!

 

Seriously, doesn't sound anything like a ford 10 speed. Almost manual esqe the way it grabs that gear.

 

Any plans to copyright and or market and sell the engine mounts? There's not a lot of aftermarket support for engine mounts on these third gens.

 

If I get a lot of interest i probably would, I’d actually be interested in doing this same swap for people, after I work out all the bugs I can do a truck in about two weeks or so at a time. 4wd is my next hurdle I’m working on

 

count me in for a DIY kit!

 

All I can say, is great work! I would love to do one of these swaps in my 2nd gen when the engine craps out, but that won’t be for a long while.

 

According to your member info, you have a first gen

 

Oh, never updated it. I have both. Let me fix it for you.

 

This is my jealous face

 

I need to start off loading stuff. I’m out of space and time.

 

That runs pretty great!

 

Wow....Toyota take notes for the Gen4.

 

They wont

 

Design has been frozen for 2+ years. Just ironing out the kinks.

 

Bought some new 2021 LED headlights, they are Depo brand instead of OEM but they have perfect fitment, turned out great I’ve always been jealous of the guys with the new LED headlight
