    So I've supercharger my 4.0L v6 Tacoma and I'm very happy with the results. But because I'm human, I want more. Lol. But I've heard of a few people doing a v10 Viper engine swap on their tacos and I'm interested in swapping with a Viper v10 or anything close. However, I can't find anything confirming you can do this. So my question is, is this do-able? And if so, what would and estimated cost be?

    Correct. But, obviously not for '17, as they are already on the street.

    But as soon as Dodge concludes their purchase of Toyota. Probably see it in the '19 models. :burnrubber:

    OTOH, a kid across the bay (Tampa Bay) stuffed a v12 Jag in a Miata. So I think we're open to options here.

    But we don't have inspection nonsense in Florida.

    Apparently they have no need for handling either. ;)

    I love my new truck but miss my Tacoma
    I'm surprised they can close the convertible top on that car with those seats in there. Looks like they don't fit very well.

    Doesn't look like the hood closes, probably cut holes for the carb stacks, I like to see a pic of this miata with the hood on.

    With a motor like that, who would want a hood?

    So much is sticking out that it would be called a hood but more like trim...

    If you want more power an LS 2/3 swap would probably be cheaper and more feasible.

    Highly doubt it. Why don't you place a 5.7 supercharged "Tundra" V8 engine? It's been done before. Wish I could fit one into my truck but I believe my engine bay is to small.
