Almost forgot to mention, I just got done putting a 350 in a 91 4runner, you're really going to appreciate the power but be disappointed on the mileage.

It really wasnt too hard, just time consuming (7 months) the cost was around $6500 bucks. |

Cool. So let's see some close-up pics of the shackles in the rear!
How much lift did you end up with and did you use blocks/shims? Thanks, Warren

hey, no blocks or shims, ill take a picture of the shackle in the rear but its basically just a double shackle set up, autozone lift shackles running from the stock toyota hanger and that lies flat against the frame and the chevy shackle connects at the other end... i havent measured by lift yet but its pretty big...the springs shoudl settle.... boy do those things flex!

Without the blocks you probably don't need the shims 'cause your driveline angle is still acceptable. Later, Warren
