    I am new to old vehicles, as the oldest I have owned before my rusty Hilux is a 1990 BMW. I am wondering if any of ya'll could help me find a source for aftermarket/performance parts for my truck. I know very little about it but I am ready to learn. All comments, positive and negative, are appreciated. Thank you:)
    (Also, I have a decent understanding of vehicles. Not new to modding)

    ITS A HILUX. Sorry, forgot to put that in the title...

    Swap in a 20R or 22R.

    Thanks for the reply. I was actually thinking that if i did a motor swap i would drop something a little more beefy. The engine i had in mind is a 3800 series GM motor. V6. With an s10 transmission. That is unless a 20R or 22R is a bolt in.. Still not sure though. Any thoughts on this? Thank you
