You can do anything. What are you wanting...a V8 or V6 conversion? Lots of guys putting 350s in Luvs and I even saw a blown 406 in a Toyota xcab once. Depends on how much work and power you want. Pups are pretty light so if just a mild street rod then 350 would be great out of the box. Check out some of the threads on the site and ask questions plenty of help here.

What's wrong with the 1.9? Head gasket? :x If you do a swap & wanna get rid of it shoot me a PM. Check the Drivetrain Upgrades for some ideas.

& WELCOME!!
