My engine swapped 3rd Gen build thread

My man!!!!

10/10 dad joke

 

Should’ve gone with a longitudinal mount for maximum challenge.

 

He did

 

Honestly don’t know how I thought transverse but typed longitudinal. Wow.


Good call.

 

I’ve pretty much got the motor mounts fabricated up, I’m curious is anyone would be interested in some, I could mass produce them pretty easily. I have also made them so you use the factory Toyota rubber mounts so there is no cutting and welding on the truck. I’ll get some pictures up when they are all done

 

Edit - I see now where you said, but still am curious about fitment.

I know you had mentioned before about the trans tunnel not being large enough for the ls powertrain swap. Did you end up getting it to work, or what trans are you using? Sorry if I missed it alrwady being said.

 

What I’m learning now is the trans tunnel has plenty of room. The problem is the oil pan, there definitely isn’t an after market pan that works. I’m in the process of making my own, the diff is where it gets difficult.

 

Any updates on this?

Oh yea I’ve been driving this around for over 1000 miles, I now have a transfer case installed just waiting on having a front driveshaft made. It is pretty much a perfect daily driver now, plenty of power

 

Hell yeah dude! Can you elaborate on the transfer case portion(parts used, actions, etc.) you da man

 

I’m using a t-case from a 2018 silverado. I will be using my buddies stand alone harness and programmed controller for the control side of it, he owns swaptimeusa check him out

 

Awesome, so all by wire. Keep up the good work man.

 

I have the truck up for sale if anyone is interested, I don’t have enough posts to post it here on so it’s just on marketplace

got to make room for my next project

 

Play add a word drop a word on here lol, you’re only 8 posts off.

 

What's the next project?

 

I’m picking up a 1st gen Tacoma that I’m going to put a Tesla motor in

 

Okay, that's pretty cool. Do you have a build thread for it yet?

 

No I haven’t picked the truck up yet

 

No worries, I'll try to keep an eye out. Sounds like an interesting project.
