Only in New Zealand would they let 4 wheel drums in these trucks...:looney::brickknock: So drums up front use a residual valve that holds a...
You can drop with just torsions, BUT the best way is to do a 84+ front arm swap to get some Belltech drop spindles in there. It will keep you...
79-95 have similar enough fram dimensions that most items 'bolt' on from the 84 and up pre- Tacoma's. The Tacoma's are too different to say what...
All I remember from the swap is it wasn't worth the time to swap on the later torsion too.. because the returns were only minimal. With the...

Any issues with brake proportioning? Is this swap done on an 89-the one in your signature? Any known difference in the earlier 79-83 rears? I...
BTW, a Weber 38/38 or especially a Holley 500 won't return 20-25 MPG on anything but a stripped down short cab... Expect realistic mileage aroud...
What years?
You don't buy the mount, you make them! Actually most use some sort of round mount(think hockey puck) and fab up the 2 mounts. Then you make the...
My vote is the 302 Ford, due to the fact the distributor is located up front and mounts are obtainable. Cool factor and cost vs potential, I...
What kind of noise? Bottom end? timing chain? Valve train? These motors are notoriously noisy in the valve train, checking and maintaining...
Nope, stock 20R- then 22R manifold with that 2BBL throttlebody setup. I have switched to the EFI manifold using 4 of those same injectors and WOW...
