i've finnally started my swap that i've been researching for the past year i'll upload photos tomorrow because im tearing the 3.0 pos out right now.

 

sounds like alot of work would of been easier to buy a ranger or something

 

im assuming. who else makes a 5.0? chevy with the 305?

just wondering.

 

haha yes it is a ford 5.0L 302ci motor out of a 93 mustang LX and why would i want a ranger when i have a runner
see im a V8 guy i like my big engines and high horse power and when combined with the indestructible toyota i will end up with a sweet beast.

as for progress i have all the connectors from the 3.0 disconnected and just waiting for my friend to return my engine hoist so i can pull it out and prep engine compartment for the new power house

 

...But part of the indestructability of the Yota is the engine

Shoulda bought a 22re

 

well if i actually bought it i would have. my 91 v6 (soon to be V8) runner was givin to me by my step dad as my first car way back when.

 

302's are good motors.. with 3x the power of a 22r ..


and no im not a ford guy.

 

thanks man i got my 3.0 out but i lost my usb cord for the camera so no pics up yet and i will hopefully be getting my 93 stang into the garage tomorrow but i close at work so probably will not be doing much work

 

I have kicked around the idea of putting a 5.0 HO into a yota. I have 2 fox Mustangs, would love to have that punch on the trail

 

Props for doing something a little different despite what the critics say

 

Forget the haters. V8's in Yotas are fun!

 

thanks guys i can't wait till im done
adam i hope you don't mind if i steal your custom V8 logo

 

Good Day

I am 95% complete with my 5.0L ford Swap into my 84 SR5. If you need info just ask. Some of the details are available on my website here --> funfactorfab.ca

Mine is an A9R 88 5.0 motor. I used a aluminuim radiator designed for a sprint car and a kit from Northwest for the bell housing and clutch. I made custom headers and a complete custom stainless exhaust system.

 

i got my bellhousing adapter kit from NWOR today and man did they want a pretty penny for it but i had no other option

took old bellhousing off


old housing next to the NWOR adapter housing

 

hoerunner, i BARELY remember typing that famous quote in your sig... i just got a good laugh out of that. it made my day.
and CONGRATS on doing a 5.0 swap... cant wait to see the finished result!

 

haha that was a good night you gave everyone a few good laughs

 

NWOR housing on

 

haha. to think that was the last time i got really drunk... my limit lately has been 3 beers. and aside from the charger game on sunday, i hadnt drank at all in a month or so. no urge to.
are you going to do any kind of performance mod on that 5.0 before you install it?

 

probably not right of the bat i want to see how is runs in my runner then i'll decide where to go but eventually the plan is to have a 500hp power house but i have to beaf up everything from suspension and axles to trans and tcase before i build the motor up.

 

NICE MAN!!! good luck. i'm planning on doing the same thing. i lived in south dakota and have an '84 4runner, i had a motor out of a '89 GT and the NP435. never got the advance adapter. Then i decided to move to alaska and trailered the runner up here but left my motor down there. Me and a buddy put one these 5.0's in his '85 runner and holy !!, that thing was off the hook with power. your going to love it after you get it all done. keep it up.
