LS-swapping a JDM Is Always a Good Idea: Track Time Tuesday

Toyota Tacoma PreRunner LS

Toyota Tacoma

We might be thinking outside of the box with this Tacoma PreRunner, but it fits the bill. A solid JDM Franken-truck running a Chevy Small Block. It is a perfect fit. And if it sounds crazy, then they’re definitely doing something right. Because it is crazy, and fun, and it works.

Performance is exceptional, and that V8 delivers with plenty of gusto to take on the track.

We look forward to seeing more GM-powered JDMs at the upcoming LS Fest East, September 11-13 in Bowling Green, KY.
