I bought my %.3 and 6l80e from Tilden motorsports in Gilroy ,Ca. They were very easy to deal with and patient as I wanted an engine without DOD and it took a few months for a clean low mileage one to turn up. I thought their prices were good and they do test run them and send you a short video...

So it appears you can keep the stock gas tank. That would make the most sense. The only issue I had in CT is that the vin number in the ecm didn't match the registration. It actually hasn't been a problem with my 80 yet but it was with my Jeep when I put a 6.ol in that 5 or 6 years ago. Just...

You guys are on an island out there in CA. I can only imagine how hard it is to work on hot rods there. I find it surprising you would have to switch the entire fuel system over. As long as the Toyota system is intact and functioning here in CT it passes fine. Fuel vapors are fuel vapors and...

You will need the reluctor and output speed sensor in the trans. The 4wd trans don't normally have them, the have a plug in the hole but no sensor. The output speed sensor on a gm trans is in the tcase. The 2 wd trans have the reluctor and speed sensor. Only problem with not having the speed...

I am running a 2013 5.3L with truck accessories, just like an LQ4, and stock a/c clears frame fine. I shifted engine slightly to the pass side to put equal clearance between the p/s pump and a/c comp and frame

me either

Temp runs around 210, which is totally acceptable and normal for this engine. I am a little curious how and aftermarket aluminum rad would do

will do. It's winter and temps in the 30's here now, but what I can tell you is seat of the pants feel is way better in mid range

stock toyota is like 3" and the throttle body is 4"

Here is my new air intake Wow what a performance difference ove stock airbox I don’t know how i survived as long as i did with the cool factor pem filter canister

I took out my stock 80 series air box yesterday and replaced it with a 4" intake tube and K&N filter. What a difference in mid range, and I assume, full throttle power. I run a 2013 Aluminum 5.3L and for the past 2 years had it connected to the factory filter housing with a reducer coupling and...

my exhaust starts with caddy ctsv manifolds and is 2.5" stainless into a y where it goes to 3" on the left side of engine. it crosses over the back of the tcase and into a 3" muffler and 3" tailpipe

I'm using stock Toyota fuel pump in mine. Been 2 years now with a 5.3L and no fuel issues. Using #6 AN fuel lines and a Corvette filter with built in regulator. My 2013 engine does not use a fuel return from the rail, the return and pressure regulator are in the filter.

I have no clearance issues with the 5.3/6L80E in my '96

agreed. I run a LQ9 in my Jeep with the heater barbs removed and plugged and no issues
