Thumbs down 3vze going down

hey i got a 91 runner and im gettin ready to pull the 3vze out and rebuild/ swap it with something else. if i end up swapping it i would like to do a vortec v6. i just dont know if it is worth the money to rebuild the 3vze as this will be a trail rig in the future...HELP!!!

ZP

go vortec, if thats what you want to do. the vortec 4.3 is a great motor. though the 3.4 would be an easier swap....

I am in the same situation...my 3.0 is shot and I need to do something...I want to swap it out for some good horsepower (250+) but I am not sure what engine to use...lots of people tell me to do the Toyota 3.4 SC but others say go with a big chevy... any ideas would be great! Also, it will be an auto trans.

Go ahaed and do the 4.3L swap. I hear its easier then a 3.4L to get running. I kinda like to keep toyota engines inside these, but I know those 4.3Ls are a nice package...

pretty sure advanced sells adapters for it...

if you had the cash and time, 1uzfe swap
