Tractor engine into Tacoma body

Does anyone know if it’s possible, or even plausible to put a I4 tractor engine inside a body of a Tacoma? Would it have any advantages, disadvantages?

 

With enough money, one can put any engine into their Tacoma I suppose.

I guess the question would be why? That would probably be a lot of difficulty for what I can’t really see the advantages. Maybe someone else will have a better idea if it would be advantageous but seems like a huge headache. Be easier to do a 2jz

 

If you’re gonna put an unrefined but unkillable 4-banger into a Taco, go with a Cummins 4BT; Better known as the “Bread Truck” engine...

 

im biased... can you image a kubota inline 3 or 4 cylinder diesel in a toyota? that would be the most RELIABLE piece of equipment on the planet!

 

I suppose with enough time, money, and engineering anything's possible. First step is determining what exact engine you want to swap in, V4 isn't a very common engine configuration unless you meant I4.

 

I think you’re onto something

 

I guess I'd love to use my truck to mow my lawn too, but I can't figure out how to modify the turn radius to get around my trees.

 

Somebody put a Kubota diesel engine in an early 2000s Ford Ranger, and someone else put a 4-cylinder diesel tractor engine of some sort in a Model A pickup (forget what brand)...

 

Wisconsin made a good, reliable V4







In 1956

 

Perfect your drift turn.

 

Why??

Goes to show people will think of all manor of projects to get away from the family.

Tell us what your plans are for the end use. Then more ideas can be had

 

The intended use was to be a road worthy vehicle, but with more torque/power than a standard I4/v4 engine. Also to see if it can be done period.

 

And in some states (especially California), good luck getting an off-highway tractor engine to pass emissions/smog!

 

LMAO... thanks i needed that!

 

You bet. It makes me laugh out loud, for real. My wife looked at me like I’m insane when I found it, then I showed her

 

Cummins 4BT swap. Been done before - https://www.4btswaps.com/threads/2002-toyota-tacoma-4bta-swap-yoings.15122/

 

In the Baywatch truck?!?! No way!
