Had so much rust and holes in it, it look like swiss cheese. FInally got rid of it when I stepped in and my foot went through the floorboard. So yes I changed an engine with 123,000 miles out of that Camaro and put it in an 81 Monte Carlo. Yes anonymous I did do that with the 78 Camaro I had.

I'd like to post it here and then allow people to make snide remarks about it. OR, you could just act like a human being and bite your tongue when it comes to commenting on people's personal trucks...either way.

What good is a motor that last that long without a frame? Should have read “3 frames later the original motor has 400,000 + miles”. What good is a motor that last that long without a frame?

Doubt they will last 400K+ though like your tundra. Unbelievable to me to have the same engine and tranny over 300K on anything, but the truck is only a 2000 model year so it really is not that old, only 9 years old. How in the world do you put 400K+ in 9 years? That is over 45K per year for 1 vehicle and I thought 35K per year on 2 vehicles was a lot for us. Keep it running and we'll see you at the 500K mark.

I also park my truck outside in winter. NO engine heater/plug in...nothing! Last winter our coldest day was -38 degrees actual air temp, not windchill. She started up, no problem. I also ice fish, wash it on occasion etc. As far as the undercarriage goes, still SOLID, even though I live in a state with LOTS of salt on the roads. Will post body shots in a few weeks. Too busy right now. Take care, Mark Hello,
