I want to put a Chev 4.3 ltr in my T100. Where do I start ?
I have a line on the engine what next !!!

Nah, J/K. But seriously though why that engine? Theres so many better engines than that. I'd reccomend a tundra 4.7L v8.

Check out Downey, they have kits for that.

the chevy 4.3 has no more power than the 3.4 in the tacoma trucks,and drinks more fuel too.if you want mre power,consider a chevy v-8.its almost the same adaptor kit as the 4.3 takes and EVERYONE makes hop up parts for it and..its probably cheaper.

350,.. 5.0 swap? Anything but the 4.3

start with changing yr motor mounts

pretty much all you need is the motor mounts and the wiring harness... ... but if you dont have a transmission to go with ur 4.3 you will need an adapter plate.... but if i was you i would go with the 4.3... because if you go to anything else you brake drive shafts and axles... defenitely go wiht the 4.3 but thats the start of changing....

I have the same question. my 3.4 V6 just isn't powerful enough, what engine would be a ideal engine to put into my T100? and would I wave to do anything with the Transmission? I am a truck guy always do ing something to my T100 and I love horse power.
