    Been toying around the idea of swapping an engine/trans into my truck. I was thinking maybe 3uz or 2 uz if one of those would fit. Its hard to find any information out on the interwebs on the physical outside demensions of those. Any help is appreciated

    Although your signature says 2010, therefore you have a 2nd Gen. You’re in the 1st Gen 1995-2004 forum.

    Start to finish LSX swap into a 2002 tacoma, very detailed if you want big power. This will certainly help you wrap your head around all the ins and outs of this project:

    Great option for a 2wd. Id think he would have had a lot more trouble with the swap if it were a 4x4. Really hoping he continues the series with suspension/tuning etc. Despite the summit racing advertising, its a great series.

    Yeah, he started the series right when I started my 3.4 turbo swap on my 5lug so I was definitely intrigued
