    I have seen 350s put in a Porsche 914 and 911 so a 5.7 will most definitely fit in a Taco. It just takes engineering and money.

    I've seen 2 guys swap in an LS6 (5.7 V8) but the price tag is steep

    Hmm, those were into 1st gens though, so there would be more room in a 2nd gen, but maybe more complicated too.
    Bottom line, if you have the money, you can make it happen:D

    You can fit any motor in any vehicle with just 2 things, time and money. In the end its almost never worth it, i say almost because of people that swap different motors in dedicated trail rigs/ race cars.

    Simple question, always seems to draw out the nay sayers and negative comments first.

    I've seen a few. I thought I saw a guy who swapped in a Lexus v8 here, but I can't seem to find it. Here is a Ttora thread though.
