Will a chevy small block V8 fit in my tacoma's engine compartment? :wink:

by **Mr Revhead** » Mon May 17, 2004 3:15 pm

buy a tape measure and find out. but i think it will

It should fit being quite a compact engine,
But the question is why?
When a 1UZFe is a far superior engine
Have a look at www.lextreme.com for more information and ideas
(Im guessing that you are in the states when you mention the Tacoma)

how can you say a motor that pulls on average of 250+hp bad???

i have a small block chevy in a series 2 RX7 and its pulling round the 350hp mark and they dont actually weigh that much and im not knocking the 1UZ cause i also have a 1UZ twin turbo in a toyota corolla 2 (major mods to fire wall etc)

as for ease of fitting the SBC will fit pretty much any engine bay out there, the 1UZ is 600 square and you have to remember with the 1UZ you have all the wiring, computer etc to wire up where as with a SBC its pretty much straight forward. fuel lines are there and are big enough and the wiring should just wire up to the motor.
there is a toyota corolla DX sedan here in wellington that has a 350 in it and it is dam quick with 500hp

Engine Displacement A B C D E SUMP STARTER

Chevy Small Block A26.50" B27.00" C20.50" C26.00" D27.00" rear right
A being total lentgh from bellhousing to front of water pump snout, D being the total width from the edge of valve cover to valve cover.

personally i would go SBC for ease of apllication and they can get an easy 500hp+ N/A with stuff all major mods and parts are so readily available its not funny.

being the owner of both motors i preffer the chevy over 1UZ.
theres my 2 cents worth (well 4 cents with that much

)

the 1UZ is 600 square

I was lead to believe that the 1UZ was closer to 700mm?
But still quite alot bigger than the SB Chev
Correct me if im wrong

Never seen anyone make an "easy" 500hp from a small block. Don't believe all the numbers people spout off.
Having said that, at least with the small block you don't have to piss around with all the excess wiring and given were talking about a Tacoma it means "I am in the US" so the small block will be a much cheaper proposition with parts on every street corner.

true in the states engine parts for old push rod v8s are every were and a cheap hell they hve nearly been around for about 80+ years

by **Mr Revhead** » Sat May 22, 2004 12:32 pm

why not a 4cam from a mustang.... mmmmmmmmmmm

and and interesting fact... what engine in the ENTIRE world has the most performance parts sold for it.... NOT the sbc but the ford 302 windsor

by **FLAWLES** » Sat May 22, 2004 12:53 pm
