ok i have a 91 pickup that i rolled and now doing frame up restoration on it and i was wondering if it hard to do a chevy 350 swap on an ifs truck? i know possible ill need a lift to clear the oil pan. but if i go with a th350 will it be hard to fabracate a front drive shaft? also when guys do the swaps do they just splice into the factory wiring harness for the ignition or buy a new wiring harness? Oh btw im planning on swapping a carburated 350 in

leave it alone and spend your money on gears, lockers and a roll cage.

are you planning on doing an sas? I rode in an 82 toy with a 350 swap it realy ate up the mud better than the other toys running the same size tires but he was also the only one that broke that day

wiring your on your own

buy a new d-shaft

It's a lot more work that you can ever imagine. It is worth it but lots of work. I swapped in a 350 small block into my 82 D-50 pickup years ago. Glad I did it but what a pain it was. Word of advice do the SAS first then the engine swap.

Gotta ponder the fact that the toyota driveline won't like it for more than about 20% throttle...

Believe it or not but the toyota drivetrain is pretty stout. It depends a lot on your driving style.
I have seen two wheel drive toyota pickups being drag raced with a 350 using the stock rearend and they hold up.

You would be better off doing a built 4.3 Vortec swap, it will fit easier, lighter, and are common enough that virtually every thing you need you can buy from one outfit or another. I don't think the stock torsion bars will support the weight or clear the 350 even w/susp. lift, an SAS and BL will also be needed.

You might also consider a Supra straight six swap, same benefit but less weight and less headaches. If you found you still needed more power you could always bolt on a turbo or two. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

i ran a 350 in a 87 4runner for about 5yrs. it would always make me laugh when people that had never ran a small block chevy setup would tell me that my drivetrain would not hold-up <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />. i think that according to what i've picked up from MTV these folks are called "haters".
having just under 300 hp in toyota was a blast. i used all of the stuff from advanced adapters. make no mistake this is not a cheaper alternative to rebuidling a 22re, but i had no regrets. i will definately do another one some day.

swap away.......
