Ok. Here we go again. I'm in the process of tearing down my 78' 40 series.
SOA front, 4 linked rear, f/r ARB lockers/ 4.88 gears, Orion tcase with the stock 4sp tranny. All of this will stay the same, although I would consider a H55 and a split tcase.
Since I'm doing a refurb seems like the right time to strongly consider engine swap or at the very least 2F rebuild.
I would love to keep the DNA Toyota, but.....
Looking for opinions based on personal experience regarding swapping in a 5.3 L.
Help, this has been a problem for me to decide.
I would like to make the call and move on.
The rig is a trail built truck and used to get to the trail head and back home. I would also like to be able to travel down the highway farther from home to get to trails as well. This has been a concern in the past with 2F in it's present condition.
I want a engine I can trust and depend on.
Comments please and thank you!!
