Do you want a truck to be a truck or to be a 3 ton brick trying to be a racecar my 2 cents

and just remember at the end of the Day the toyota Nascar still uses a SBF SVO motor in their race car.

Actually they use a Hybrid of the Ford, Dodge, and Chevy SB2, not the new R07. But Nascar gave Toyota 100+ engines, from all the big race teams. They used all of their designs to create an Uber Engine. They use the dodge's skirted block and wet deck, the ford style heads and miscellaneous chevy ideas. Quite a wild looking engine, and a helluva powerhouse.

Where did you hear this ?

EVERYTHING I've read states that the entire engine is designed and built by TRD....

Wouldn't doubt it, Toyota hid the engine quite well, they all look alike now, all the Distribs in the front, same design intakes and completely off the wall blocks and heads.

Quite a lively thread! I like that it's staying on topic and not turning into a Tundra bashfest.

To reply to a question someone asked me a few pages back, a F-150 with a V-10 transplant shouldn't have any problem eating a turd. What you need to get a bigass heavy truck moving is *torque* - and there is NO substitute for displacement to get tons of torque. The V-10 is 6.8 liters and has those tons of torque. Open up the intake and exhaust and it will have plenty of horsepower for the top end too.

You have to mod your truck to keep up to a stock turd. I need a blower to keep up. So will you.....

If you have the $$$ get new heads and a cam. That should get you about 80 hp. Regear the differential (s) to at least 4.30:1. That will keep you at the same level of power transfer to the wheels Loose the big tires. That will eliminate the dead weight that you have to spin. Unless you get the air to flow into the engine you are wasting your time. If you have a lot of $$$ to spend add a blower.

Regards
