LS V8 Swap into 2007 2nd Generation Toyota Tacoma Build is Very COOL! Literally Part 6

Part 6: I don't know where you live, but right now, it's 106 here in Texas! That is hot! We don't want the 2007 Toyota Tacoma LS Swap Project to get hot. In this video we go over the basics of removing the "used" GM Corvette a/c compressor and install a new low mount Sanden A/C compressor from ICT Billet. I also made mention of some changes to the motor mounts you might have seen in a previous video. Below I have listed the parts used in the project. All the a/c parts came from ICT Billet (not the belt). check out www.ictbillet.com

Been following your updates! These videos are fantastic and will help me swap my ls into my Tacoma X-runner! Can't wait to see what you come up with, with the new mounts, would be interested in a set

[@laurencevillegarage]

It’s coming along nicely. Tough to video because it is slow going. I plan on a longer comprehensive video with a lot of detail. In the meantime, contact Metaltek Manufacturing and talk to Jaime. He has all the information at hand to make you a set of mounts, last time I talked to him, he said about $130… that’s a steal…I have way more than that in the set I have.

Excited for more content, just got my mounts ordered from Jaime, can't wait to start my swap!!@@laurencevillegarage

[@laurencevillegarage]

@@BrandonKhao-Onawesome! Please let me know how they fit. I’ve only had this truck to use for fitment. Good luck!

Are you keeping the stock 3rd member?

[@laurencevillegarage]

That is the plan. The engine is basically stock with the exception of a performance camshaft. So, rear wheel hp should be around 275ish. The supercharged 2.7 had about 225 hp to the tire. Obviously the LS has more torque, but the truck is not going to be going down the 1/4 mile (?), no 4000rpm launches etc. In the future, if parts begin to break, then that will be addressed. However, there have been plenty of Lexus V8 swaps and turboed motors that have survived. I don't see any issues. Of course, time will tell.
