The 5.7 would have been cool and I know where ones at, but the width of that engine is several inches wider than the 4.7L. Plus, I don't need this to be a hotrod.
I am not knocking the 4.7, I think it is a kick ass engine and perfect for this.
I am mocking they dude that thinks he can white smoke all 4 40" tires with it :shaking:

Blue haired people don't need a hotrod.

Man I go away for one day and look what happens. I do think I can get at least 2 wheels to get a respectable burnout though the truck may not deserve it. The bottom line is that the engine swap wasn't necessarily for power, but to neaten up the whole pickup package. I have always said that my trucks are a pretty cool idea, but take me lots of do overs to get where I really want them to be. My 62 took me several years to perfect....after it was finished. Now I have a real pickup...all Toyota still..and........ still has some cool to it, in a hot rod sort of way.

Trying not to beat a dead horse Gary, are the numbers pretty comparable per litre to horsepower and torque?
4.7 toy at 245HP compare to 5.7 at?
I personally like the toyota engines engineering and compactness, reminds me of the Yahnmar compared to the cummins marine diesel. The Yahnmar per litre outdoes the cummins by a long shot.

Ya maybe with two quarts of Crisco and a neutral drop! ;p
and a little bleach to make it look impressive
i like my turbod ifzfe and it has more power than my 100 series once the 4.5 is spooled up. but the 4.7 in the 100 is certainly more powerfull out of the hole. And the 4.7 is so smooth. I think Gary could smoke those rear tires with a 100 shot of NOS. Just add another $500

Did I miss it ... are you bringin it to Round up
i'm guessing he'll make it....the rats nest he was working on last weekend wasn't that big
i guess i watch too many youtube videos..
YouTube - 5.9 liter grand cherokee does a 4wd burnout
one less liter and Alot Bigger Tires, but i thought it would be a cool PowerPlay Video.
Looks like they may have put down some oil under the tires too
This is a very cool rig, even better now with a V8. Cost wise, it makes since to put all chevy parts into a truck, but you have build a sick rig keeping it all toyota.. Best Part of this thread is the Before photo!
