I would have and I kinda wish I did that. But im too far in now to give up. Also when a six cylinder stomps a ls engine car it's just that much better. An another thing ls swap is common now a fully built turbo ed trans swapped tacoma isn't so 2 each there own I'm happy with my decision

That's right man. I feel the same way. Any time a little v6 can out do any v8 is always better. I think u made the right choice to stay with the yota engine even know the trans ain't much to work with.

Got bored and reread this build....:rofl:

It had a lot of flaws. He tried hard and gave it a damn good effort. The last few flaws are being fixed. That engine will be back together soon and be as strong as it should be. :top:

I mounted the a/c relocation bracket. Had to clearance the header to fit around the compressor. I also have to notch the a/c bracket just to get a hair more clearance. It doesn't touch at any point but just for heat aspect I want a little more clearance. Also started the down pipe on the driverside since that is the tighter fit of the two. I removed the gas tank since I have a fuel cell. Also welded the t4 cast elbow to the manifold so there wasn't any vbands.
