I know this swap is possible & has been done, I met a guy named Ben who worked at Roseville Toyota a few years back, he swapped a 4.7 into his 94 pickup, I rode in the truck & its badass! He bought the bellhousing kit from Australia, he also did all the engine wiring himself. He told me he beat on it pretty hard & all the axles/tranny, etc were all holding up to the abuse! I would personally love to have that motor in my Runner, anyone know if Offroad solutions has a harness for the 4.7?
ORS is DOA... get it? They are shutting or have already shut their doors. Sorry chief.
read the above post and you will see that I just mentioned that!
well congratulations... you read the whole post before posting something... Somebody give this guy a
I started the thread there buddy! lets keep on topic
Marlin is probably talking to big mike about figuring up what would have to be done to a gearbox to strengthen it up to make it handle the output of the v-8, and oh, yeah, what would be the most likely candidate for a tranny, and can I make a bellhousing to mate them, and what flywheel... Marlin and Big Mike: the design demons!
No thanks, you're the one saying way too many people had troubles with them, you provide the links to back your statement
too bad I would never buy a marlin tranny!!! I have heard of way too many people who have troubles with them and I know its a pain in the ass to get them fixed and you have to R&R it yourself with no reimbursement if there is an issue! I will pass on that and build my own trans
Are you looney, what do you mean, its hard to get them serviced. How many other people in the world do you know that would drive to your house regardless of where in the US you live just to fix something thats bad on your tranny. Anyother company would have told your ass to ship it back to them. Which would cost you money. Not Marlin this man will drive to your house to fix it. He did for me and I personally know of about 4 others when something broke or went wrong that he himself drove out to there place to fix.And if you think that you can build a better tranny than that man, one: you're on crack and two: then you better open your own shop, cause if you can then you're not of this world.
I have no reason to provide links to anything ....
I see from your sig you have plenty of money to buy all the expensive goodies and thats cool if thats what you like to do! so until someone has some good info regarding the swap this thread is about how about you just shut up!
Sounds like Pirate over here
