I have been reading many different posts on this site and have determined that I want to swap my 3VZE for something else.
The transmission has problems too so I want to replace the entire drive train. The rear end fill nut on my 4runner has been welded and is leaking from the front. I can keep this rear end but will need to drill and tap new fill hole.

I know what an engine swap entails and I have all the tools time and experience to do this swap.

My question: I have a 1994 Toyota 4Runner 2WD 3VZE engine. What doner car or truck will fit the best? I want fuel injection, a common motor that has a lot of accessories on the market for trickking it up.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Anthony

Chevy 4.3 is a good swap, has some decent power too and its simple. Could do toyota 3.4, I6 or lexus V8. Or if you can live with carbed a chevy 305 or 350 is really awesome in power and performance costwise.

Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

I'm half way through a 5.0HO Ford swap and am really liking it so far. The motor is narrower than a chevy 350 or even 4.3. It has a stand alone wiring harness. Do you want to keep your runner 2wd or do you want to go 4x4. if 2wd then a lincoln Mark VII is good you get fuel injection and an Auto that is plenty strong.
good luck and keep us posted.

I have posted several engine pics. Just look under cnctony. I have so many pics I don't know where to begin.

personal favorties are the 94 k1500 Blazer with the Vortec 350 (thicker cylinder walls than tradional SBC's and is only a 2 bolt so the Moroso 45 degree four bolt main caps can be used, subsatially stronger than the stock parallel four bolt main caps) or any 94+ S10 4.3 X motor (the X has more HP than a W motor and is MPI vs TPI)
