4runner with Corvette LT1 Engine

[jbone]

Hey guys! I'm new in this 4runner world, and so far, I'm loving it.

So, my mom's friend just sold me a 4runner with an LT1 in it. This thing roars! I was just wondering if there are other people out there with this setup. Also, this thing has a sound system that almost drains the battery when the car is not on, so I wanted to know if any of you can help me out with installing a dual battery system.

I'll be posting pics soon.

Thanks toy4. Btw, I've had the car for a day, and after having some people telling me it's an LT1, I did some research and found out that it isn't an LT1 because mine is a Tuned Port Injection making it probably an L89. I'm still doing more research on it. As soon as I get a chance, I will post pics.

Id love to see some pics I thought an L89 was a big block?

There was the LT1 made in the early 70's and the LT1 Made
from 92-97 two different motors, the later ones had reverse cooling, alluminum heads and the optispark ignition system,

10.4-1 compression, I just assumed you were talking abought the newer one.sorry abought the spelling.

Ok, so after more research, this is a TPI engine Now I have to figure it out if it's a 305 or 350.

Holi Canoli! the first question that comes to my mind is, where the hell are you going to SLEEP in the back of that thing???

(ps, I travel a lot and my T4R is more an off-road motor home )

lol, you're right man. Believe it or not, I'll be breaking down that sound system if I keep the car. I just want two subs, that's more than enough for me.
