3rd Gen with an engine swap??

Was wondering if anyone here or if anyone’s knows of someone doing an engine swap on their 3rd Gen Taco and if so what kind??

Love my 3rd Gen, the truck just feels a little “laggy” at times.

yeah I'm gonna be the eating popcorn/folding chair guy meme right about now.
Too tired to figure out how to post that stupid stuff, but you get the idea doodz.

Subscribezzz fo sho...

 

Reported! lol

 

So you wanna spend 10K and live in electrical hell and end up with a less reliable and durable truck? For a "little laggy?" Lol go for it man. Post pics.

 

Welcome to TW and good luck .

 

Sorry, new to all this stuff lol

 

No worries. Look around the site there's some other options for those wanting more zoom zoom.

 

I’ve learned how to make mine go.
Roll down your window. (Can’t hear the transmission shifting with the wind noise.) Put your foot to the floor. At the same time raise your left arm out the window with a fist and yell “Taco power”!!! Goes pretty good!

 

I think there are some companies working on some Supercharger Kits, when those finally become available they should add some needed low end grunt.

 

Trade it for a ‘69 mustang with a 429 cobra jet engine, no “laggy” there!

 

Well you are in the right place, many members are on the same quest as you, subscribe to the 3rd gen forum and you will get up to speed right quick.

Lots of good technical information, and you can see from some the responses, a fair amount of fun.

Welcome.

 

LS swap!!!!

 

Only one of those I ever ran against couldn't quite get past my door handles. Held him off that half length from a 100 mph rolling start till we hit 130.

His call on the 'how'. Something about tall gears. After he'd already gotten spanked by my buddy's Judge running heads up off the line. For which my toad was only capable of being a spectator.

His passenger was laughing a lot though. Not very considerate of him.

All on a sanctioned closed course. Natch.

 

He gave up

 

I was just going to post that!

 

No test drive huh? Seems to happen a good bit around here.

 

Just buy the magunson supercharger next spring
