I mean, a duck is technically a bird

 

truth

 

Did you know that in 1913, it was possible, and legal to mail a child.
Just address the tyke and send it off to grandma's.

 

Did you find your old scrap books in the attic or something?

 

You were a cute baby.

 

Or maybe a cute postman?

 

Literally, don't tempt me. I've considered it.

 

No do a 1UZ swap and post a how-to so I can follow it when my 3RZ gives up.

 

Thanks, algorithm.

 

No can do already backed out of a 2uz swap I had 90% prepped for. It's too tight in the bay for standard maintenance to be worth it.

 

That's not a house on wheels. That's a playhouse.

 

I mean a 5.3/4l80e combo isn’t thaaaat expensive right? Are the 1g Tacomas cool enough for people to make motor mounts and swap parts for LS?

 

I've not looked into pricing lately... but im sure we could weld some shit up easy enough.

I'm only entertaining the idea because the haltec would hook up with MINIMAL effort

 

Now do the Pyramids

 

I picked up some generic LS motor mounts and crossmembers from TMR for mine, figure it’ll make mounting the drivetrain easy, basically just set it where I want it, plate the frame and burn it in. I see 5.3/4l80e combos on marketplace going for around $2000, 6.0/4l80e combos going for $2500-3000. Usually come with the factory wire harness and PCM which is pretty easy to tie into existing stuff and get running

 

Seriously considering this option. I'll be hitting you up for advice when I decide to start down this rabbit hole.

 

Twisting my arm damn.

 

I don't know of anyone who's made it work with 4wd, unless you SAS.

At the very least you'd need to make a custom oil pan, and there's no room for the driver's side exhaust between the front diff/steering shaft.

 

Yeah, Project Lightning or whatever it was called where the YouTube person converted an SRunner Xtracab to a rear mounted turbo LS swap was 2wd and even then had to do some weird stuff or alternate oil pan config.
