Yeah... I wouldn't change out an otherwise functional 5VZ, as it is an adequate power plant for the application. But then I wouldn't bother rebuilding it if it failed either when there's many accessible GM V6 variants where conversions are well documented and adapter kits are "off the shelf".
My biggest gripe with the VZ engines is more power delivery for this application. Some complain that blown head gaskets are common with the VZ, but I doubt you'd ever see such an event if the cooling system was maintained.

>shooting caged animals
Yeah, you're definitely a dumbass redneck that can't wait to "hunt" animals that have lived in a protected area for decades. Just buy the shit at the store, poorfag. It's the same as your proverbial fish in barrel, except you don't have to beat your wife to clean them before beating her for cooking them wrong.

2. Turkey liver is ridiculously hard to find here and the only time I can eat it is if I buy the whole turkey or kill one.

Don't need to, I'm reasonably well versed with them. Part of me wishes they were still completely mechanically fuelled, but then you could always simply build a Frankensteined 5L-T out of a 2L-T manifold.
Toyota can keep their 1KD though.

Any of you 4x4 suburban guys have an extra nv4500?

It's pretty obvious about this hick getting a boner at caged animals he's not allowed to kill.

It's not caged. Those were a group of wild turkeys that crossed my trucc and went behind a farmer's gate. Across the path. If it was a few months ago, totally would've done it too - their livers are too drained now. Also illegal, lmao
Mason Morales
Cage? Are you talking about that gate? I'm pretty sure a wild turkey could easily fly over that little gate.
