Not mine but it is a good buddy of mines. His nephew rolled the truck. Only had liability insurance. Would make a great swap candidate.

Hmmmmmmm

wish it was a 6 speed manual

"4.7-liter V8 was updated with Toyota's VVT-i variable valve timing technology and was rated at 282 horsepower (210 kW) and 325 lb·ft (441 N·m) of torque "

Would it fit in here

I'm gonna guess that you can use the same w58 adapter kit made for the 1uz for this 3uz powerplant.
seems like a REALLY awesome deal.
this would be really cool in a z car, a 240, or something obscure for sure!

My dad had 4.7 tundra. That v8 was as smooth as silk. I like that engine.

The UZ blocks are all basically the same (bell pattern) so any of the swap kits will get you into a manual relatively easily. There are also a bunch of people running the 4 speec (a340?) in full manual mode with paddles. All my knowledge is LS400 based but I THINK that it all transfers to the trucks. I wish I could justify getting this because that is a fair price in my eyes and would make a KILLER back 40 ride until I pulled it apart.
