My V8 Taco

keeping it auto. will i be able to use my existing tranny?
would i need custom engine mounts? or does someone make them?

 

i just modified the tacoma engine mounts. and i doubt you would be able to use your existing tranny unless you get an adapter. what engine are you thinking about using? if you want to use a lexus motor, then a good site to do research on is lextreme.com. TONS and TONS of swaps on that site.

 

sweet

 

been real busy workin and messin around with the truck... forgot to post an update on here. he's some pics of the rear set up and whatnot

 

and here it is done...

 

looks good 'coma!!!

 

Nice work man. I bet you surprise people with the speed of it.

 

A video when she is running good? I want to see the power. Nice work!

 

thanks for the compliments guys. i will try and get a video soon

 

Did you have any trouble fitting those wheels on?

 

the wheels fit perfect. i had a wider set of 18's on it before with a bigger tire and they hit the master cylinder so i went to these and have had no issues

 

I had a brain fart! I meant the wheels on the black one you did. Those are Lexus wheels, right? Found a few sets on Ebay and getting conflicted info on fitment. Thanks.

 

o ok. the lexus wheel fit fine but you have to bore them out because the tacoma hub is bigger then the lexus'. all you have to do is take them to a machine shop or something and you can usually get them done cheap. i did mine myself with a cheapo router.

 

Cool, thanks a lot for the info. I figured it be a different look, at least in my area at least. So, they don't center on the hub, just need to have enough clearance? Did you have to use special lug nuts? Thanks for all your help and insight!

 

i used lug nuts like these... only the ones i have are a bit longer. ebay might have those too

 

where could I get a kit like that? WHO makes them?

 

Hey man. Have a updates, maybe some videos
