I do almost everything myself...the great DIY thread allows me to
I've done a few motor and tranny swap so I won't feel intimidated. From what I read, the 4.7 tundra swap is less than 100 pounds more and you get the power early w/iron block. Adding a supercharger with stock gear and LSD will kick ***.
Tom, I noticed you live in ca... isn't it a pain to go FI here (having to take off the parts for smog sux)?
The short block is tempting...my engine runs fine but I am looking at it more with FI in mind.
I should consider collecting parts and possibly rebuild the engine myself. From my reading, the 1uz rod should replace the 3uz... stock piston should be good enough. ARP bolts is a must.
LOL, eventually I will do it. I'll just call it a hobby... unless the 4gs-f comes along, I'll stick with modifying the 2GS.

cowboy looked at it, and said no. the 5.7 is just physically too big to be fitted inside the engine bay.
