    What would be your dream engine swap into your Tacoma? Mine would be either a 4AGE or a 3SGE.

    Too many trucks and mods to list.. check builds
    im thinking a 2gr cammed 1gr from a 10+ 4runner will end up in my 95. i think power band would be a bit more... akin to the 3.4 but with gobs more.

    You think the later 5.7L V8 Tundra engine would fit? Probably not without extensive cutting/fabrication, and relocation of things huh

    Unfortunately I don't know. some measurements would need to be taken. I just happened to remember seeing the video for the 4.7 swap a few years ago.

    OME and worth every penny.
    The 5.7 looks to be huge compared. The 4.7 should have been done to the X Runner.
