tucking engine under the factory hood

awesome

We're doing it too! Shoot, I may have to go and get another stock hood. Just to say I have a stock hood!

hell yea looks good

Finished! It took chase about a week to do. Stock hood on a V6 Tacoma B/D on 20s! I'm going back to a stock hood for sure!

I saw the pics on hotrides.com under the show in tampa.......looking sick bro!!!

I got my motor to fit under stoock hood with a 4" bodydrop i will post up some pics this weekend of it. I got about a 1/4" to spare.

V-6 sticks out a bunch compared to a 4 cyl. Both tacomas have factory motor mounts and oil pans. But 4 inch is a lot. Did you lower the motor mounts and notch the pan to get it to work?

I made up my own mounts and sectioned the cross member. Its not a V6 or 4cyl.

well, that's a whole different story all together! LOL!
