Default 5.7L Tacoma

Okay... I've never been a big truck person... I actually have an '03 V8 4Runner as my current tow vehicle, however I want a longer wheelbase for more stability at highway speeds when towing my car trailer, and figured the Tacoma is a perfect size (Tundra is too big, IMO). I just wish the Tacomas had a V8 option from the factory... So, with that said, the 4.0L V6 and 4.7L V8 fit into the same engine bay, but what about the 5.7L Tundra drivetrain?

I would absolutely LOVE to build an '05+ Tacoma Access Cab or Double Cab with a Tundra 5.7L drivetrain in it. Has anybody done this, or have any technical knowledge of how to pull it off? I think it would make an absolute KILLER tow vehicle setup.

I've done engine swaps on various cars before, so I'm not worried about physically making it fit -- the electronics are what I'm actually more worried about. Can anybody point me in the right direction for this?

Ricky
