454 in a 3rd gen

So I am going to swap a 454 with a t56 into a 3rd gen Tacoma. Does anybody have engine bay measurements?

 

That’s a very bold statement for not having measured the engine bay yet.

 

Lol see you under another screen name.

 

5x32

 

Just measure your engine bay.

 

Nice, a motor that actually has low end torque an won’t hydro lock with oil after being on a incline for 2.74 seconds too long.

Guys have been putting SBC’s in older Toyotas for years. Excited to see a BBC (we’re all adults here) go into a newer Toyota.

 

You could always fit it without the hood or grill. Or better yet make a custom tubular chasis/front end. You’ll need mad fab skills. Where there is a will, there is a way….

 

The trolls are getting less and less creative these days.

 

LOL, I have a 454 in my C10 and it seems like it barely fits that truck. Sub'ing to this thread in hopes of seeing a taco with a BBC in it sometime soon!!!

(btw friday was two days ago)

 

You’ll need to add weight in the bed so the back tires don’t come off the ground when you let that motor off the lift.

 

I just swapped mine yesterday. Fits fine.

It'll take up the better part of an afternoon to do, though.

 

Ah I take it you bought the bolt-on kit with it?

 

I did, but that was pretty much a waste. These things are basically plug and play. The only thing you need out of the kit is the adapter harness to make it play nice with the ECM.

 

Hope that's also the case for my Land Cruiser; I got the 'any Toyota' version from the drop-down menu.

 

What a waste! Never happen!

 

I remember being a teenager with big dreams and unrealistic aspirations

That said....I hope you make us all eat our words and shoehorn that bitch in there.

 

This, , is the 383 emoji.

 

Once you cut out the firewall anything fits

 

Of course, the real problem is that my LS4 Corvette now drives like shit. I should have never swapped the 2GR engine into it.
