    So my 95' Tacoma finally died so i am turning it into a project. I need help on an engine i want something mean, big, and doesn't fit under my hood. I know I'm going to need a mount, a big block and a new suspension to hold it any ideas will help! thanks for reading

    Mounts would have to be custom. As for the suspension, it all depends on how you build up the engine. You can keep the weight of the motor near 550-600#'s, then a sewt of OME springs and shocks would be fine. However, the engine will be wanting to twist the frame into a pretzell, as a lightly tuned 572 is easilly capable of 750 hp, and 700# torque. Add a blower, and other little bolt ons, and your over 1000#'s of torque.
