Default Project LSX Toyota P/U

Here is my 94 toyota pickup. My plan is a 5.3 with 4l60e. I want it to look completely stock from the outside. I think it will be a fun project.

email me as I have a friend that has the same truck setup for drag racing.

It has had the following motors in it: built 454, turbo 231ci Buick (10's), turbo 274ci Buick (8's), and now a 522ci Big Block Dart M with (2) T88's. He went 8's with a stock Toyota rear end and a spool and no issues. Looking for 7's now.... Wheelie machine so he went big block to try to keep the front end down. Stock leaf spring rear suspension!!!

That would be a neat conversion. Has anybody done a newer Tacoma? Not that anybody would pull apart a newer truck, but it could happen.
