    So This Pass Month Ive Wanted To Do A Krazy Engine Swap In My 83 Pickup So I Came Up With 5 Diffirent Ideas

    1st 1JZ/2JZ Motor Swap
    2nd 350 sbc Swap
    3rd 7MGTE Swap
    4th 5MGE Swap
    5th 6MGE Hybrid

    So Im Seriously Considering The 6MGE Hybrid Swap Idea........Which is (Correct Me If Im Wrong) A 5MGE Head With A 7M Block With 5M Pistons and some other parts........I Really Think This Would Be Super Unique, Fast, And DEAD SEXY under a Old 83 Mojave Edition Yota Tell Me Whatcha Guys Think

    5Ms bolt into a yota no sweat. 7ms just need 5m mounts.

    I almost did one in mine. Mesured it out, got the motor and everything. Just didnt have the space to swap. Woulda been fun.

    I Hear Ya Ive Always Wanted To Do A 7M Swap But Ever Since I Found Out About A 2JZ I Always Shut Down The 7M Idea...I Would Absoutley Love A 2JZ But Its Just WAYYYYY to Long And I Think I Would Be Ripping Out My Hair with Fabbing.... And Then a 5MGE Came Up But I Dont See The Potential.... But Then I Thought Of A Hybrid Setup For The 7M And Im Really Really Considering Building One Up...
