    Im thinking about buying another 1st gen taco and heavily modifying it. Perchance do you think I could fit a Toyota Century V12 under the hood but still have it look the same on the outside like a sleeper build kind of thing. Also the reason I want to do this is because 1 no ones crazy enough too and 2 it would be funny

    Cool idea, but I'd imagine a V12 would just be too big without serious bodywork modifications. I'd look more along the lines of V8s or straight 6s. May not be as unique, but I can't imagine how much of a headache it'd be sourcing Century V12 parts.

    I think I would be more worried about length than width just because they are more around the same time frame and was just thinking like if we could fit a V8 in it why
    not another extra 4 cylinders

    Or maybe If you can squeeze the toyota LR V10 in one would also be pretty funny and cool but its that the V12 is more geared toward comfort having smaller displacement and overall being just a little quiter
