Can the front end(axle) support the weight of 5 liter 4 cylinder turbo diesel engine?I did the SAS with a 85 front axle, 4340 chromoly inners & pro fields w/ 35" tires.I think the engine weighs 750 lbs.Do ya think the engine would fit in the engine compartment???How about an adapter for thr tranny??thanks,Pablo

Run fullsize axles and the big diesel. You could get a set of 1 ton axles (Dana 60 and 14bolt) and weld them for less than the price of built up toy axles and lockers and you would never have to worry about breakage as much as with toy axles.
Friends of mine have Dana 60's and 14bolts laying in their backyards for 1000$ a set. Gears and a detroit locker alone for a toyota will cost almost a 1000$. You will be way over a 1200$ once you add the 30 spline longs to get the strength of a dana 60, and you will still be limited by the 8" ring gear. Why are the words "fullsize" and "bigmotor" so hated? Don't you guys like the ultimate strength of the dana 60 and the massive torque that the engine would produce in a toyota?
i don't know about you guys, but I love telling people that my yota ACTUALLY USES TOYOTA AXLES!!!!!!I'd rather spend the money and ARB front and rear than sleeper out my truck to Dana axles(even if they do make Toyota axles now...)
