2000 tundra v8 blown

I have to say. Even with my poor eyesight. I could have missed that pothole.

 

Yeah, I fell asleep at the wheel though and didn't miss it XD

 

Got the old motor out and found the hole

 

Nice! Maybe try some JB Weld?

 

Ouch!! You was driving around in an Elk’s bathtub!!!

All BS aside sorry to see that that happened to you. I don’t like to see stuff like that happen to individuals. Hope you can figure something out. Ken

 

Haha yeah sorry I'll try to add more pics also new motor started knocking off rust and painted it red cause why not

 

Is it sitting on the flywheel? Bad practice. Support your local block. (looks like it was stood on bolts, and one of those bolts snapped)

 

No, just not all of the bolts are in it and there is no weight on the flywheel

 

Thought that was a 4 cyl for a second

 

I thought an I6 or L6 myself. Thought I was on a Jeep or old GM forum for a sec.

I think this is what's questionable.

 

I see what you see but I snapped that bolt out of the old engine and dropped it by that engine

 

But do you hear what I hear, Bing Crosby?

 

Glad you caught that I was hoping someone would

 

A child, a child.

 

man you guys are super pro mechanics to be able to remove and put back engines with ease like it was nothing.

Haha, not really XD it is a lot to remember I just did not want to pay a mechanic to do it. Also just take tons of pics and ask for advice
But I will say one thing this is the second motor I have swapped the other one was on a subaru and I'm only 17 so if I can do it anyone can

 

Got parts, starter, timing belt, oil filter, oil, thermostat, spark plugs, air filter, ect...

 

i was looking at you front and couldn’t help but notice a lack of skid plate and maybe fenders? which may have led to the swamping of your prior engine???

 

Yeah, I noticed that too, my truck never had a front skidplate at least while I owned it

 

Making progress bolted the new motor in connected the bell housing did the motor mounts got the flywheel connected to the tourk converter did the timing belt and water after mailing services decided to drop my water pump and bend it

 

Is that how much one of the 5.7s goes for? or is that big time souped up?

 

Thats a nascar engine. Nothing in common with a factory toyota engine.

 

Got it, thanks
That nascar engine is probably 3x the price of a normal one or more?

 

Oh yeah a ton more

 

I havent really looked into it too much, but id imagine a tested/reman/installed toyota v8 shouldnt be more than $3-4k. The $350 for a 4.7 in this thread was a smoking deal. I could see a junkyard asking $1k

 

Like 9 times the price

 

Totally thought that was an weird 4 cylinder. Then I looked again LOL

 

I suppose it depends on who you have rebuild/install, but where I live, it would be $6.5 - $8.5 depending on specific parts list with a hole in the block like the OP. Less if you have a rebuildable block. Less if you do the labor.
