LS1 into a toyota pickup truck
I've had my 94 toyota pick up truck for a while now and i absolutely love it. the 22RE is the definition of a reliable motor. however, i may no longer have to use my truck as my daily driver, so i'd like to do a badass engine swap to make it an offroad monster. I believe the LS1 would be the perfect choice:
1. all aluminum lightwieght (maintain weight dist)
2. readily available powertrain for a good price
2. easy 400 hp with a cam/valvetrain upgrade
3. Torque monster!!!!
I'm curious to see if anyone knows of a shop, or forum where i can find someone who has dome something similar. I know that i can get the engine/ecu/harness, and custom mounts/headers. however i cant find any aftermarket support for a transmission conversion piece, or if there is an aftermarket transmission that will work with an LS1. any help would be awesome. thanks.
