The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

was one of the options I was looking at as well.

 

Yours would be a bit tricker I think..some guy on TTORA did it to his 2nd gen though.

I know I can make one bolt up to my tranny with a kit pretty easy.

Just wiring that'll be a pain.

 

I have full plans on a tranny swap already. Just un-decided on which engine to go with. would be sweet to see a V8 in your first gen! Should have some get up and go!

 

Yea I found an awesome thread of a guy with a 1uz. Freaking ripped.

And tranny swap to an R series??

 

considering T-56 or turbo 400, we will see when it comes down to it. Want to get 425-475 out of the motor eventually as well. so they will probably both go at the same time and some fab work to push em back a few inches as well.

 

I have a ballpark on parts. As for fab work and install i have no f'ing clue lol. I dont forsee me doing it for another few years till I get used to my new set-up. But im always planning ahead so I dont have to re-do anything for future plans.

 

you can get an LS1 for 2000ish a sealed LS3 for 6K ish and a good T56 can cost roughly 5K if built correctly. Gotta pay to play...

 

A lot haha

Ahhh gotcha. Big power huh? I would go nuts with personally but that's cool

You know a 2uz TRD sc should bolt up to a 3uz too haha

I'm just gonna do a bit. Probably not a ton of work.

Yea if you can't do it yourself..a ton.

 

Yea any motor swap will be 7k minimum upwards of...well..sky is the limit haha

 

I was considering a S/C untill i swap. And unfortunately for me I dont have the time or the shop to do it so it would be at the shop. And I would consider center mounting it if I was going that far haha.

how much power would you get with the S/C on that bad boy?!

 

Jesus man idk. The Lexus drift guys are doing tons of custom SCs and shit. Freaking crazy shit! Very impressive though.

Have seen some up swaps with turbos too. DAMN haha

 

Part of the reason im waiting is Im pretty sure I wont know what the fuck im doing with 4-link. so my 260HP should be plenty till I figure out what the hell im doing in that thing haha

 

Hahahahahahaha so true!!

And a TRD sc on the 4.0l v6 is still pretty nice. My dads is. It gets up and goes.

 

Sounds interesting, ill have to get back on the lexus forums and read up on them some more.

 

That is weird.

 

Impossible.

You'll add something I'm sure at some point. Especially once the season hits again haha

 

For as much as lockers cost, I figure I am going to use them every chance I get. Why spend all that money to use it hardly ever. Plus it is less wear and tear on the vehicle to just walk up some obstacles rather than bump and/or spin up them.

Says that guy running factory 4.56's

I was thinking the 4.6L out of the 2nd gen Tundra's would be sweet then I could run the 6 spd auto with it, with that 6 spd I could regear to like 7:1 diff gears (I know they don't exist, just making a point) and still run at a reasonable rpm at 75mph I wonder if TRD makes an S/C for that motor (just checked and I think that is a no...). Although by the time I could afford that kind of a swap I could probably afford to pay some shop to do a custom mount front turbo setup on it. haha

 

Eh. If you can make it up without spinning..i don't see why its needed. I think personally id enjoy the use of a crawl box more. But id take both really

4.6 is a nice motor too. No SC though. Id probably just leave that motor alone. I don't think there is a lot of after market support.

 

I wonder how much bigger and heavier the 5.7 is over the 4.6 I just don't want the 5.7 tranny... It is geared pretty high... Would be sweet if the 4.6 tranny would bolt up to the 5.7 though. Then just get the TRD S/C and put down shit tons of power all day long!!

 

yea gears wouldn't matter. 500hp man with the TRD SC..haha

and i would imagine quite a lot larger.
