97yota's fully caged 4wd long travel build

okay another crazy thing that has been going through my giant bulging mind....

a 350....

they make a whole conversion kit to drop that bitch in my truck. for like 1600 i can double my horse power with a v-8 or i can wait a little longer and save a bit more and buy a modded one.......

thoughts? i know i dont even have lt yet, but this is still there in my mind

 

Be carfeul cause they will jump out of the tracks if you dont have them rolled up all the way. LT can get brutal. Blackhawk250 shattered his window on his first trip out after doing the rear end cause it was rolled down and jumped out of the track and bam inside the door

 

The extra weight wont be worth it. You will spend a lot more than $1600 trying to get suspension to hold that V8. Also with the amount of crawling you do a V8's weight would only hurt you

 

i was thinking about that!!!!

it rattles like crazy all the time!! im kinda just waiting for it....

 

not yet im slackin.

well kinda a page or 2 back

 

a supercharged 3.4 will serve you alot better then the 350

 

If you go v8 get fuel injected don't fuck with carbs

 

do they drop right in to the 2.7l trucks?? see i dont want to fuck with a 6 cylinder if i do decide to drop in something bigger. if im going to go through that im going to drop a v-8.

i was really considering a 4.6 or 4.7(forgot which one) tundra engine. those fit pretty well i have heard

that was the plan!! they sell a kit for it.

and i know the whole thing wouldnt cost 1800, but the engine alone is around 1800, but then i would need to buy the header kit engine mount kit ETC.

 

2jz.....

 

Just Turbo yours.

The 3rz loves boost.

 

i'm going to LMAO so hard if you drop in a new engine before you LT the truck

 

pretty sure it may go on me soon, maybe next 20k miles or so. dont really want to turbo it for that reason

start more trends?

haha trust me, i wont

 

guess thats a legitimate reason, once all thats done pics should take priority

 

^^^thats what i said

 

pics coming now

 

gusseting and bed cage isnt done yet.

 

Things So badass. you gona put any kind of bed or rack or something in the rear?

 

looks great man! are you gonna try to put any seats in the extra cab?
