He picked up the drivetrain parts cheap, leftover from a stolen and stripped vehicle. I've seen complete low mileage 4.7 motors on ebay for $1500. I think you could find the parts cheap if you were willing to wait and keep looking.
I'm glad Toyota is building so much of their stuff here in North America now, makes me feel even better about spending my money on Toyota's.

Damn, that's a good deal. My Tacoma buddy in Wyoming found a Tundra 4.7 with tranny and ECU for $1,500 at a local salvage yard. Damn nice swap for a Taco.
If time and money had been on my side with my recently blown engine, I would have chosen to swap in a 4.7 and Tundra auto. Too bad it wouldn't be IM legal for the city I live in.
I'm not surprised about the Dog's motor being built in Mexico. If the "Big" Three built all of their stuff here, they couldn't afford to sell it for what they do.

I have heard that the 6-spd in the 05 taco has the same bolt pattern as the auto tranny for the 4Runner. I have also heard that the 4Runner uses same tranny for both engines, so shouldnt the 6spd out of a taco bolt up to the V8? Not to mention pre 05 V8's had the same hp ratings but some more torque than the 05 V6......
Worth looking into.
