Default Prerunner engine build/swap

I've had a few projects going lately and figured I'd post one of them. This was a build for my buddy that we finished up recently. While the 5.3 did decently well, the truck really needed some more power for the terrain it's capable of.

Here's the truck


Here's the break down:
LQ4 short block
CNC heads
Cam
Headers/exhaust
Converter
Trans rebuild

5.3 out


LQ4 shortblock


Cleaned up/heads on


I'll post up some more pictures later

Truck is desert only

Trans is a built TH400 with a manual valve body.

Rear end is fully fabricated Ford 9" style, 4.88 gears, with a spool.
