all swaps and costs

hjkmotor · 09-26-2009, 12:45 PM

so there are i don't know how many threads for engine swaps on this forum. tons of successes, tons of lost causes, and tons of who knows?.

anyway in my search for a possible swap lets post up our swaps and costs of said swaps. that way others can choose what swap they want to do. maybe we can create a sticky

include engine, tranny, cost, custom parts required, etc. keep it simple please we can all go find a write-up if we're interested in a certain swap we find here.

bump..... come on guys. lets start with the basics 3vze to 22re, 3.0 to 3.4. what we lookin at in costs.

Adam F · 09-26-2009, 10:27 PM

Every swap will be different, but here's how mine broke down

3.0 to Chevy 350

Engine came from a 1976 Blazer. Bought it off my brother for $250. Took the engine, parted the rest and made my money back, so the engine cost me nothing.

Transmission is the stock R150 5 speed from my 3.0, and stock t-case. So no cost there.

I scrounged together scrap steel and various nuts and bolts from home and work, so I diddnt have to buy much raw material.

Pulled the 3.0 and parted it out. Made about $200 on it.

Plugs, wires, coil, cap, rotor, seal kit, timing chain, oil filter, fuel filter, fuel lines, degreaser, paint, and other misc maintenence items to freshen up 350 $400

Advance Adapters bellhousing adapter $450

Centerforce flywheel, clutch disk, and TO bearing $360

153 tooth flywheel $50

Ebay mini starter $90

Ebay block hugger headers $80

Dual glasspacks and pipes $100

Motor mounts $75

Taurus fan $50

Temp controller and solenoid for fan $75

83 Camaro radiator $100

Driveshaft work $150

Now I KNOW im missing something, but so far thats $1930

I had to buy an engine stand and engine hoist, so add another $50 for the stand and $130 for the hoist

I had to have gone through $50 or $60 in grinding wheels and cut off blades

Running total, $2220

And thats being a tight ass. I could have bought a bunch of stuff I made, and used more expensive custom parts instead of the frankenstein parts I used.

The power is priceless.

RobD · 10-24-2009, 07:35 AM

Complete 3.4 cost me $2000. Custom crossover to route the exhaust from the passenger side to the driver side, $200. Rest of the exhaust, including two new O2 sensors, about $800, though I think I got a little hooped on that price. Misc bits and pieces, about $500. So, roughly $3500. Sold the old 3.0 for $300, probably could have gotten more, I just wanted it out of my brother's garage.

Call it $3200.

dunnarunner · 10-26-2009, 04:43 AM

I envy you people on the costs of things you have in America, in Australia things are very different in prices. I bought my 85 4 Runner for $4500.00
Holden 308 motor for $1500.00
355 stroker kit $1200.00
TH700 transmission $1100.00
Adaptor kit for transfer case $850.00
Interfaces for electronic fuel injection$480.00
Pumps and relays and mounting brackets $650.00
Shift mount and display $350.00

I have to point out that my costs are in Australian dollars and probably mean nothing to you guys but I thought i would share it with you anyway.

Clive.

hjkmotor · 10-26-2009, 04:59 AM

94toyota · 10-30-2009, 07:49 PM
