Honestly from a pricing perspective, I dont know why anyone would want too..the Tundra engine assembly alone costs more than what I spent on my LS1/T56 with all accessories.
But I dont think one has been documented from a private owner.

Haven't read your entire build thread so I don't know for sure if this would apply. But, if you are using the factory starter relay then maybe you forgot that the switch is grounded through the theft deterrent ecu so that would have to be grounded elsewhere to get power to the starter. Could be way off the wall for your build though lol.

Well, if your starter is like the 5.3L I had in my old Toyota truck it has the big 4/6g power cable to the battery (always hot), and then the solenoid is triggered by +12V from the ignition switch/relay/whatever you're using. Only hot when the key is turned to start.
Make SURE you have GOOD ground(s) from the block to the chassis. Like a couple 4g cables to the chassis at the minimum. That often gets people when doing swaps like this and it won't turn over
My 5.3 I was using HPTuners and had VATS and all that jazz disabled, which if you don't have VATS disabled its NOT going to start. It WILL turn over, but obviously won't start.
sleeeper!
