Tom's Turbo Garage Project Firebolt: More Test-Fitting and Accessory Drive Noodling

Welcome to the latest update onTom's Turbo Garage Project Firebolt, wherein Tom Tharp stuffs a a turbocharged LS engine in a 2002 Toyota Tacoma.

The B&M 4L80E transmission arrived in the Turbo Garage, and Tom got right to work bolting it to the 5,3L LM7 engine and test-fitting the combo in the truck. Spoiler alert: a hammer was involved.

Other happenings include:
* Noodling out an accessory drive system using a combination of factory parts for LS-powered Camaros and Chevy trucks
* Determining the turbocharger oil drain location on the Canton Racing oil pan
* Installing a remote oil filter adapter (the factory filter location interferes with Tacoma's steering rack)
* Hoping an LS6 intake manifold will clear the hood
