    Tacoma's are allergic to Chevy's, it'll just spit it out


    People have swapped the LS motor into their Tacomas before, I'm sure it can be done.

    That Vortec has the same HP but has 260ft.lbs. torque where ours is only 220. That extra pull would be perfect in our truck as we're lighter.

    I doubt a Chevy engine is going to get 450k supercharged miles on it before needing a hg. @1997tacomav6 I got an engine and 4x4 trans / transfer case out of a running vehicle for $1400 and swapping it myself. Where are you located? Put it in your personal details so we can help you find a local deal. Jdm long blocks are $900 on eBay... add a used supercharger and that 4.3 will be blown out of the water :)

    Keep checking CL, Offer Up, car-part.com, Facebook groups, T4R 4Runner forum, and on the first gen buy sell trade forum.
