    Current opinions on Tacoma 3.4L (5vz-fe) swap?

    I have searched through the archives, but there are only a couple threads dealing with this engine. I am just hoping for some constructive criticism and knowledgeable opinions about the feasibility of doing this swap. The idea as of now is to swap out the stock 1978 2F and drop in a low...

    Cutting out/stalling at high speed?

    I can drive 50-150 miles with nothing happening. Let the rig sit for 15 minutes, start it up and while traveling at higher speed it will buck/try to stall at random. If I put in the clutch, the engine will be unresponsive to the gas pedal and will want to stall on me. Sometimes it will...

    I have had a difficult time trying to find used 15x5.5" rims here in Oregon for my 78'. I had a look at SOR, they want $70 for a used rim plus an unknown amount for shipping. The $70 doesnt bother me, but I dont want to order them up to find out shipping is an extra $30. I am getting them...

    The true meaning of "reliability"

    I guess after reading quite a few posts on IH8 mud my interpretation of “reliability” has changed significantly. Although I still lust after a that elusive diesel cruiser that can go 500,000 miles before a rebuild, I am beginning to think that having something serviceable locally would be key...

    Crawl ratio Q's for the big low RPM torque monsters

    Since a diesel makes max torque at say 1800 rpm, versus a gas which has peak torque at @ 3200...would this equate into a similiar crawl ratio reduction? Ok, further explanation... 1800/3200=56%, so diesel makes peak torque at 56% of the gasser, therefore, if an ideal crawl ratio is approx...
