    4 run, 2 don't
    New to swaps in general or just the Tacoma platform?

    If the former of the 2, just keep your truck stock and buy another vehicle that's already performance oriented.

    So you're implying you've done motor swaps?

    Start a build thread then!

    @Laylow

    I guess I am curious though...

    Is your truck a stick shift and do you plan on utilizing the original transmission with this swap?
