v8 tacoma

Not sure how I have missed this awesomeness for the last few months, but holy ducking chit. So cool.

I would also like to get in line for info on mounts and crossmember.

 

Well cancel those plans on pulling the motor,after doing measurements and taking cooling into consideration the 6bt cummins that I had lined up isn't gonna work so back yo working on the 5.7.... Message me if anyone is interested in mounts I can make some more

 

Can’t wait for the 5.7 swap!

 

OP,
Are you using the stock front diff? Does the oil sump fit over it?

 

Somehow I havent subbed this thread yet sooo....
SUB!!

Any notes on the gauge cluster wiring? Hoping to keep mine as clean OEMish as possible. Still havent started my swap, I've been down since Nov, bought a donor (salvage) 4.7 '03 4runner in Dec. Told the wifey I wouldn't start the project until we move to a bigger house for our growing family.

 

Stock front diff and yes the 4runner upper and lower rear sump oil pans fit perfect around the diff

 

Congrats on the new addition to your family. Everything on my cluster works except for the temperature gauge

 

what would be different for the swap if I used an 06 4runner. Does VVTi change anything with it.

 

Transmission & ECU for the big ticket items

 

Doesn't the 4runner use the same a750f that come in tacomas?

 

Yes, but the older pre vvti engines used a different trans

 

So if i get a vvti then i wouldn't have to worry about trans?

 

Interested as well. Subd

 

That's a loaded statement. The trans will be the same as in your V6 Tacoma but the bell housing is different and you may have to move the transmission forward or backwards depending on how you fit the motor in the engine bay. What I gathered is that You can't bolt it in using the existing frame perches and 4Runner motor mounts because the oil pan will interfere with the front diff (ADD tube)

 

Would a DB 6inch lift kit help with this? This is my current setup. Would love a v8 swap with a supercharger.

 

I'm doing a non VVT 4.7 and planning on wiring to my (VVT?) A750F from the tacoma. Still havent started or got a definite answer on what the actual difference is. May not find out until I get started on it lol. I have the entire donor '03 4runner tho so I may find I just use the ECU and wiring harness and it works with the 4runner tranny and just use the Taco transfer case.

 

No idea, sorry

 

Bell housing is 100% different and possibly the torque converter

 

Won't work. The none vvti computer will not know how to handle the A750 trans (4speed vs 5speed) among other factors

 

Wiring and immobilizer would be the biggest difference
