3vze or 3vzfe which one do i have

I have a 94 4runner that I am about to replace the head gaskets and water pump on, and I am unsure as to which 3.0L I have. I have seen all kind of info online about vin numbers and how to tell, but the sites just contradict eachother. I just want to make sure I follow the repair manual right according to which engine I have. The engine Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

You can pull the plastic cover in passenger footwell, right side. That's where the ECU is, it will say engine code right on it.

The 86-95 4runners and trucks have the 3VZE or 22re. Here's the online FSM: http://personal.utulsa.edu/~nathan-b...fsm/index.html

ive heard good things about fel-pro. and engnbldr is the man, great service etc. i'd order from him...

and when i got my gasket set, i found out that engnblder's gaskets are just re-packaged fel-pro's anyway!!!
