Re: So which v8 should i swap in ?
« on: Mar 14, 2006, 10:28:37 AM »
Im sick of not having enough power..  whatever motor goes in  it will have a auto behind it .. probably with a manual valve body.  No im not going to try and find a toyota v8 and swap it in.  i dont believe in the whole "keep it toyota" thang.
I had an LC EFI preformer motor in my truck but i still blew it up due to my driving style ( high rev to get wheel speed/power)  with a v8 i wont have to rod it as much  to get the power i need.    yota motors just dont make the power i need.

im leaning twoards the 390  because i have it already..  but  it also means i need to go buy a holly setup to have FI.. i run on extreme angles to much to have a carb  the other cool thing about the 390 is that it has a np435  already on it so i have a bullet proof tranny with a 6.69-1 first gear..   the toyota tranny wont stand up to my driving either..  i murderd my reverse gear yesterday. 

any other v8 i should look at i didnt list ?

Sure it wasn't from the Mechanic?
It goes, but is it ever finished?
