A GM truck LS series V8 will get you 250-350 hp depending on the engine, close enough?

Camaro rear bumper? What does that turn out like?

That's more horse power than I want. I guess the Lexus v8 is about the same.

The bumper will look good. I hope. I saw one on a hardbody or another Toyota and I liked it from the pictures. The factory one is just way to big and doesn't look like it fits the truck.

You did a nice elbow grease job on that truck. Good luck with it, at that price it would take a lot for that to let you down.

Thanks crankwalk. I don't plan on ever selling it. I'd like it to stay in the family for the rest of its life.

Swap a 7mgte from a 3rd gen supra. I think I saw one in you tube a while back. OR supratrucks.com

Turbo the stock engine?

edit: Wait, no, just get a 4.8 for peanuts. Yeah, it's more power than you're hoping for, but it's also probably going to give excellent fuel economy.

I found a supercharger for it. Almost any other way I'll have to get a fuel injection.

The smallest of the 3rd generation chevy smallblock V8, found in every other GM truck built in the last 15 years, cheap as hell and tough as nails.
