i have a 93 4runner with the 3.0 3VZE motor and my valves are shot, a budy of mine has 93 nissan with a 3.0 v6 in great shape, is it possible to swap these motors, if so how much $ any help would be great thank you

Anything is possible. It's possible to have intimate relations with Rosie O'Donnell. Doesn't mean you should.

Your best bet is to do a 3.4 5VZFE swap from newer Toyota, such as a Tacoma or 4Runner. Mechanically, a very simple swap. And you wouldn't end up regretting your actions.

Like the whole Rosie thing.

Excellent and interesting point RobD.

Plus some good advice to boot.
