Tacoma V8 Possible?

Is there any possible way to fit a V8 in a 3rd Gen Tacoma? If so, what options are out there?

 

Buy a tundra, it will cost so much you could buy a tundra and a half when you include the cost of the tacoma and the warranty you're voiding.

IF your ultimate desire is to have a v8 in it.. LS based is the way to go for compact fitment, power, and fuel economy.

 

Anything is possible with enough money. If you mean has anyone made a kit to do so more conveniently, then I would say no. Big engines need big axles and tough transmissions so you'd be doing a lot of work outside of the engine bay to make it reliable. You would be better off buying a different truck.

For a second gen, but still, super bad ass. Like said above with enough time and money anything is possible

 

Just throwing that out there, just wanted to see what some of y'alls responses would be. I just see a lot of people putting V8s in Jeeps after awhile, was wondering if anyone had done it to a Tacoma. Thanks for the link, will read into it.

 

If you can get a crashed Tundra, There was one on ebay last month 9K... I think it would take more money than effort...
It will fit, just getting the electronics to work is the hard part...
I have seen a few chevy V8 Tacomas.....

 

LS swap that bitch!

 

Anything is possible...

You can fit a limo in a dog house if you have enough lube

 

Anything is possible with enough time and money. Here is a 4.7 V8 swap into a 2nd gen:

A super charger is a cheaper and easier way to go to get another 100 HP...
Than a stand alone ECU and E85 for another 50-100 HP...

A 3.5 could easily make 400-500 HP with 10 psi and E85...

Maybe one of these will be developed for the new Gens later on.

 

I've got one 4.7 Iforce v8 in a regular cab tacoma

 

bwahahaha damn! NICEEEEE! I like it.

 

This is what I am hoping for!

 

I think that part of it too comes down to the reliability of a Jeep engine. If you toast the engine and have to replace it, might as well go with something better/bigger. I'd love to toss one of the new Cummins in either of my Tacomas, but I can't justify it til I'm at the point of needing a new engine. I've got just over 5k miles on one of the trucks, just under 200k miles on the other. I don't think that either one is going to be due for a new engine for quite some time.

 

Absolutely, I couldn't justify replacing the engine till it was time as well. Should be more options available by that time as well hopefully as far as diesel.
