Later-model fuel injected engines may require stand-alone fuel management of transmission management computers.

Fuel injected engines will require a dedicated high-pressure fuel pump and system.

What kind of transmission do I need for a V6?

The most popular transmissions for this swap are the three-speed TH350 and overdrive 700-R4s. The good new is that many V6s already come with the decent 200-R4, but this transmission should only be used with a bone-stock small block. Anything more powerful will rip the 200-R4 to pieces.

When did Toyota stop using a V6 engine?

There was a change to the SAE protocols for the way manufacturers measure the horsepower of their engines in 2004 and Toyota implemented it in 2006. This meant that while the engines still performed the same, both the V6 and V8 were rated at lower horsepower and torque in the later years.

What’s the difference in horsepower between a V6 and a V8?

Upgrading to a V8 engine from a V6 won’t make a dramatic difference in horsepower. For example, a 2021 Ford F-150 with a twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 produces 325 horsepower, while the available V8 engine only bumps that to 400 horsepower.

TH350: This is the most popular transmission to be installed in combination with a V6 or V8 engine selection. On 2WD vehicles, a TH350 with a 9” tailhousing can be installed without driveshaft modifications. On 4WD vehicles, a TH350 replacing the 700R (using our adapter) can be installed without driveshaft modifications.

T5: The T5 equipped in these vehicles are not recommended for bolting up to the Chevy V6 or V8; however, we do carry a bellhousing for customers that wish to retain this transmission on 1984 and newer vehicles. On 2WD vehicle applications, you should never retain this 5 speed.
