Hey guys,have a 2015 hilux with a 2.8 and find it underpowered, I have a 6.0L L77 out of a VF with 30000k on it and was considering an LS swap just wondering if anyone has done it or know of any conversion kits out there for this model? TIA

A mate of mine did an LS7 swap into a 2007
Huge amount of work, and the front diff was never strong enough for it (put a 9 inch in the rear)
It became a money pit that he wouldn't consider doing again

LS1 has similar power and less torque than a supercharged V6, it or a stock LS2 should be fine.

Geez huh, I cant imagine how they were driving to do a front diff. The rear I can kind of understand but the front :?
