Do I smell a diesel swap....?   

[MRHilux87]

do it.  What running gear?

[yotacrawler1 [OP]]

Woo Twistedtoy wins! Yep , om617 straight 5 turbo diesel. Running Gear it will be mated to my r151f that's in truck now. Hoping it will hold up to torque im going to try to get out of that Mercedes motor.    Here is the Toyotas new heart in all her beauty! almost ready to pull.

hardest part of this swap will be your steering clearance to your oil pan.  The engine will fit in the bay, but you either have to push your front axle like 5 inches forward, go full hydro, or have a 30 inch frame height.

Shhh your ruining surprises. Hahah. But yes if i dont notch oil pan and modify pick up tube, I have another way of fixing problem that will get revealed later haha.

[yotacrawler1 [OP]]

on that car had little shocks on them to absorb vibration haha. Cleaning motor up now a little

What did you do for the oil pan, steering problem?

[spuds015]

What size tires and gears are u running? I for sure want to do this swap someday

[yotacrawler1 [OP]]

The om617's rpm range is actually alot higher then most diesels. They can rev to about 5.2k right now im running 37s and 5:38s but truck is built to have 42s
