I really really hate that you have such a great truck is that okay?

Hopefully that chick got her thumb unstuck from between the tire and fender, she seems to be taking it pretty well.

I do love the forklift picture, reminds me of trying to juggle raw squid.

Awesome, love the 5.3 swap. Would be interested to hear more, which oil pan, radiator clearance, motor mounts, ect. Looks like you got the engine to sit really low, those LM7 intakes are tall!

I personally would have done a 5.8 ford eng but that's just me. That thing is bad ass brother. I dig it. And remember. Haters are gonna hate.....

Thanks guys usually gets a lot of hate cause of the gm drive train but living in a small town in AZ toy engines and parts are like gold. Here's a full run down of parts used.
2002 5.3 ls
4l60e with a full manual valve body
Np241 pass drop clocked flat with sye
S10 ls swap headers
Howell efi harness
F body Camaro oil pan
Rci fuel cell
Speedway motors fuel pump and regulator
-6 stainless braided fuel line with an fittings
Advanced adapters universal ls engine mount kit
Advanced adapters v8 swap radiator in double pass ls configuration.
Stock gm power steering pump with custom lines to toy box with hydro assist

That's off the top off my head I'm out of town for work for 6 weeks. There is about1/4inch of clearance between the hood and the intake. Front axle is pushed forward 3 inches that helps the difference clear the pan

That's some mad flex! I love it!!!

Maybe the haters should stay at their favorite Prius forum? :loco:


Ain't nothin' wrong about swappin' drivetrain to big gm stuff, or ford stuff, or nissan stuff---okay, not nissan. That would be dumb...

Keep posting photos and steps along the way, love to watch builds like this! Maybe some day I'll swap the 22RE out of mine for some bigger power. Its threads like this who inspire those of us who see the possibilities for our own shit!:thumb:

Working on the flat belly pulled the case and started hacking up the floor today. Got the new cell and mounts from artec industries too.

I did the 5.8 Ford using the original Toyota drive train and it's a blast.
