Cadillac Northstar V8 in a 1993 Yota 4x4?

Hey guys, I've been doing some research and haven't found much info about this particular swap. I have a 1993 Yota SR5 pickup 3.0 4x4 5 speed with a seized cam. I also have a piece of crap 2001 Cadillac Deville, with a running northstar v8. I would like to attempt an northstar swap into the Yota and I was wondering if anyone on here has done this swap or has any information about what would be necessary. I know it will be a tight fit because the northstar is freaking huge, but I'm not worried about how much work it will be, it is a project after all.

anything is possible with enough time money and patience... mostly money though.... biggest thing would be motor mounts, a toy trans wont stand to that v8 im sure, and im sure the caddy has alot of sensors and stuff in order for it too run so wiring would be interesting.. seems like alot, id do a 3.4 swap myself

I know it will be a lot of work, but I think it will be worth it. To say that wiring is going to interesting is an understatement. lol

Northstar

Northstar V8's are huge, I don't mean big I mean huge. I had one in my shop measure it up, HUGE. Get the tape out before you get too serious.
