anyone got a v8 transplant in a Taco

I would like to hear from anyone who has successfully put a V8 in their Taco. I think it would be just awesome to have a beast like that. If you have, what were the biggest challenges you had to overcome?

 

IMO i feel like your gonna have someone that has put a smaller diesel in before they put a V8 in the taco. But idk for sure

 

There are a few X-Runners with LS engines.

 

i've seen some 1st gen tacos with chevy v8's in them.

You guys can keep your oil burner, there isn't much I wouldn't do for a factory TRD-Pro in that orange or white with the 4.7 from the 4th gen 4R from the factory. Probably would get better mileage than the 4.0L hooked up to a Tacoma and with part-time 4WD, as opposed to the 4Runners full time AWD.

 

Except this one... And maybe more.

 

never seen an uglier truck but i am drawn to it

 

hehe that thing is cool. Access cab short bed.

I wonder what a regular cab short bed would look like!

 

The only thing more useless than a DCSB...

 

Much cheaper and easier and mo powa http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacoma-marketplace/342232-fs-gt35r-turbo-kit.html

 

and less reliable too

 

I stand corrected haha

 

meh, i would bet that there are more and higher miled turbo'd vehichle on the road than v8's. we are talking about a toyota motor here, if its bullet proof its prolly turbo proof

 

A lit of people are doing lexus v8 swaps now. Not only in trucks but also in cars.
