    going to lower the engine a foot to clear the tacoma hood? Going to run what for a radiator? And intercooler? Going to shorten the frame about 6 feet? going to narrow the axles? Sounds like a lot of work but I'm sure it sounding cool will make the thousands and thousands of dollars spent totally worth it...

    If you put it on the frame, even properly you have the height of a 250 minus some cab height. A second gen is close to the same length as a extra cab short bed f250. And you gain some width but the axles will still stick out some. It's doable just no point. You'll be driving a cramped diesel or have a shit load of unusable power because the chassis or drive line can't take it. A v8 first gen could get low 20s. You would have to drive a long ways to get the money back on mpg. And a first gen with a v8 rumble sounds pretty cool. If you are looking pure performance my wife's Jetta tdi puts out the same torque as a second gen. Put a big turbo on a vw diesel. Should only take a week.

    Yep, I just started using Fuelly on my last 3 fill ups.
    I was hoping to get a good number this weekend when I drove out to AZ, but the trip got canceled so it looks like my average is gonna stay low.

    :puke: it's a dodge.
    It's coming along great, I have some rough drawings of it, and by the time I finish those I might have money to build it.
    V-10? Not a fan of them, if I went over 8 cylinders I'd go with the w-12

    Yes. Cars have 4 cylinders and the toureg has the big boy. And by big I just mean the power specs of the 6.0 just half the size.

    Id definitely go v12. A nice tt steup would look great. Ya know, since were tossing bullshit around and all. Better yet, 2 v12's. Front and rear. Omg it would pretty much be the most perfect vehicle ever made. If only ford made a new v12. Bummer. Lol I remember when I was 16.

    You can get a v10 diesel. But v10s are junk, mine barely pulls my 10k on cruise

    V12? W12 Is where it's at (if you've never heard of one look it up, they used them in tanks)

    Link: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/W12_engine
    Apparently they were used in aircraft, not tanks
