What are you running for an ECU ? I had a Microtech, aussie company, ecu comes stock with dual ignitor channels.

I had a hilux (tacoma sized) 4x4 with one years back, went like a cut cat, all the way through to 10,000 if you let it. Another common mod in NZ is sticking an extra throttle body on the intake, the factory plenum chamber is known to be restrictive. Heres my old engine.



Cool project good luck with the swap.

Thank you

I'm running a Wolf V500 (also aussie company) with a coil on plug conversion.
I ran this engine in my truck for 2 weeks with the stock ecu, (sadly in limp mode, cut to many wires) went faster then my friends 03 silverado. The limiting factor is the th350. 3 gears is just not enough, but converting my truck to manual is not really in the books for me, I'm too tall and the seating position does not feel right. So I'm looking for a 6 speed auto. Hard to find.
As for the restrictive plenum, nothing a little forced induction can't fix.

That hilux must haved moved with a bit of speed.
