Does anyone know where to get mounts,wireing diagrams, and solid axle info on this swap ive looked it up on google and i haven't found any info on a v8 swap for t100's.Im going with a 700r4 and np205 transfercase.The reason im going with this is because its cheaper and chevys are plentiful.Compared to a the 2uzfe or 1uzfe from toyota.Also how hard is the dana44 and gm 14 bolt swaps? Are they to wide to fit under a t100?

Well the good news is it all will fit with no problem except the bb(including a 3in lift from the dana and 10 bolt!). I'll be going with a 5.7 vortec instead any info on this swap???The biggest reason I'm going with a t100 is I rode in a regular cab pickup and it was rather uncomfortable and I wont have anything else except a regular cab in a small truck.So I moved to bigger and better looking trucks.I diffenately will be bobbing it 8-10 inches though.

Have you tryed DOWNEY OFF ROAD? the are big on chevy swaps and have the parts needed to fit it all together

I'll check them out thanx for the help.It seems no one wants to do a v8 swap in a t100 they talk about it but dont do a swap.Guess ill be going off the beaten path on this one.

941uzfetaco

just one problem theres no t100 parts unless i can use the landcruiser parts.

941uzfetaco

I wonder if you could use the tacoma mounts i may hook up with wabfab for the mounts.

Stomis

I'd just clean your frame up, get some generic racing mounts and tack them in place.

The 5.7 over the 454 is a good choice. I doubt a toyota frame could stand up to a 454 and I know that 700r4 cant.

941uzfetaco

Good idea stomis.

Ya if your going into swaps like this custom fab is a must alot of the time. T100 are rare (well just not seen as often) but I have yet to really see kits for them. It may be that I havent looked much but I would check out Downey Offroad and Northwest Offroad for parts. Im sure you could use alot from some of there kits but as far as mounts go youll either have to get the generic like Stomis said or build your own

BTW it would be a pretty sick swap if you do it you should definetly write about it

941uzfetaco

The north west offroad motor mounts,transfercase mount, and powersterring work on any toyota or do you have tell them your toyota model when you order?

fillsrunner4

Give them a call and maybe they can get you all the mounts and stuff for your model. Now that I think of it, do you have an original 3.0, cause maybe with that info the mounts atleast for the motor would work. Not sure on tranny mounts

941uzfetaco

Going 95-98 model (extended cab version was introduced in 95).It will have a 3.0 if its 95 but if its 96-98 it will have a 3.4.

fillsrunner4

So you dont even have it yet? Why not just buy a Tundra with the V8 or stick with the 3.4 T100 dont get the 3.0 because if you do get the 3.4 and still want to swap, you could make all the money for the motor swap off selling all your 3.4 stuff (ECU, Wiring, ECT.) Wise choise if you want a T100 and want to swap motors get the 3.4 one. You could also argue that the 3.0 will be cheaper thus saving the money but instead of hassaling with the 3.4 sale so I guess both work in the end Just My opinions

941uzfetaco

No I dont im 15 and im no where near being able to buy a tundra plus there just ugly to me the t100's look alot better.I do have 5k in the bank and a 5.7 chevy 1500 4wd thats been totaled sittin outside.I may go with the 3.4 and just supercharge it but you never know.I was doing home work before I started and got in over my head.

941uzfetaco

Sorry I was doing my home work before I got in over my head.

fillsrunner4

No worries dude youve got plenty of time to figure it all out. Just take your time and research like it seems to me your doing. Theres plenty of options out there just what is it exactly you want is the question. Keep on researching and im sure youll figure it out

941uzfetaco

No doubt about thanx for all the help.

941uzfetaco

BTW hopefully I'll be a better driver of a t100 than an fj60.I drove my Uncles last week end and I tipped it over LOL!Goodthing it had an exocage.

if you have the doner truck use it youll spend most of your 5k gitting parts for the 3.4.
