Very interesting. Yes, I do have the 5VZ. I had never looked at the HP numbers. I guess the 4.3 always seemed like such a snotty little engine. And I just assumed the 4.3 could be done for cheaper. That is why I post in forums like this! So people with more knowledge than me can come save...
They shipped about two days after I placed the order. It took about a week to arrive, as they ship out of Wisconsin (I think). Overall time was around a week and a half. But the welds looks pretty damn good.
I had some sliders welded on last weekend. Bought from a company called 4xInnovations. Had a local guy weld them to the frame for me. Then used VHT roll cage paint on them.
I've contemplated this myself. I saw a used factory TRD supercharger with all necessary components. It just seems like I could swap in a GM 4.3 or find a Toyota 4.7 V8 for around the same amount of money.
I know this is an older thread, but I figured I'd ask anyways. Are you guys running these in stock headlight housings? I have read that these do not work will with the stock housing (I'm an an '03 Taco) as they are meant for Halogen bulbs. But I reeeeeaaaaally want some!
