hey fellas and gals, yeah i know that the 3.0 motor isnt the best motor and Ive had three all of which had the head gasket fixed. but now my son is turning 16 and I need either a motor the 3.0 or has anyone swapped in the later V6 and how big a hassle is that gonna be? The truck is a 90 4 runner auto. Everything is just nearly perfect interior is perfect,air works, all lights, good tires, no rust. Bought the truck for 1k as is. Ive even thought about a SBC and a auto maybe even a 5 spd. I would really like some input on this from a professionals point of view. We don't mudbog, race or rock climb. Just reliable transportation that will be good for my son. Also I have a 94 SR5 Truck 3.0 auto kinda wanting to do the same thing but really wanting a 5 spd in it. the truck with the auto is a slug. i do appreciate any feed back.

I believe the 3.4 would be a major improvement and I know a lot of people have done the swap. Your Auto would be fine with that kind of power

Hey Hogslayer 45, do you hunt those pigs in your area?
Always wanted to bag a wild hog

Hogslayer45

yes Heat Man I do hunt em and they make some mighty fine sausage. But only eat the sows they don't have such a bad stink about them. I have a good friend that has a kinda ranch in south Ga. where he does guided and unguided hunts but he will guarantee you kill a nice one. I don't know what he charges but I do know its a heck of a good time.

Cool man........I have always wanted to bag one of those brutes
I mostly use my rig for hunting so I can get into those hard to reach areas.
