[QUOTE="4WheelingPlus.com, post: 809647, member: 16680"] Having never put a Rat engine in a Yota... I would [B]guess[/B] that: the valve covers will hit the brake booster the firewall will need serious "notching" to clear the distributor fuel lines and pump might be tricky as well The BB's came with a short and a long water pump. Chances are you will need the short one so as to fit everything in the engine compartment. I'm guessing that the original BB has the long water pump and if so... the accessory brackets will not line up. Also make certain the oil filter and/or the harmonic balancer doesn't come too close to the front end or one decent jump and you will be causing serious damage. I own a 396BB, 402BB and a 454BB and NONE of them are easy to keep cool. You will probably hate life if you run a BB in your Yota. I've seen them in FJ40's and Jeep's and they are almost always running super hot while on the trails. I agree with most everyone else... go with a nice mouse motor. You should be able to build a 350 for cheap. I know the bone stock 350 in my FJ40 does just fine for me. I wouldn't even consider dropping in one of my BB's. Now that you don't want to put the BB in your Yota, sell me the BB... or trade it to me for one of my small blocks I have sitting here. :redneck: :haha: :D [/QUOTE]
