Hood option's for a 3.4 swap.

freefallmarine · 01-12-2008, 07:15 PM

Hi Guy's, Im doing my homework for a 3.4 swap at the end of the year, Im wondering what the option's are for the hood on my 93 4runner. I do want to add a supercharger also and didn't know if there were aftermarket companies that had pre fab hood's or does everyone just cut a hole in the center? Any advice and picture's will be greatly appreciated! Thank You.

I was able to get by (just bearly) without cutting a hole in the hood with a 1" body lift. But I had to take out the underhood insulation and cut out some of the cross bracing.

Thank's for the reply Dale, Are you up there in Stillwater? Im hopeing on doing this swap in the fall, Be great if you were around for some question and answer's. Ill supply the cold one's and the grub.

Once I pulled my insulation, my hood actually closed without any body lift. It was tight, though, so I cut the hood and put one of these on:

I left it unpainted black and on my gray 4Runner, it almost looks stock. It's pushed right up to the washer nozzles. I should take a pic and post it sometime.

when you say "barely" you aren't kidding, that is close

freefallmarine · 01-12-2008, 08:05 PM

A pic would be great, Thank's Rob.

How much higher does the engine with the S/C sit compared to just the 3.4 buy itself?

mr toytech · 01-12-2008, 08:08 PM

everyone i know does a 2inch body lift and it clears fine.

freefallmarine · 01-12-2008, 08:11 PM

Are there any con's with doing a 2 inch body lift? Thank's for the reply ToyTech.

mr toytech · 01-12-2008, 08:16 PM

not to my nollage. my friends truck has the 3.4 and supercharged. he just did the body lift and it works great and looks good to boot.

freefallmarine · 01-12-2008, 08:22 PM

Sweet Thank's.

Probably depends on what you are planning to do with the vehicle. You'll have to deal with some other mods like shift levers and steering rod. Generally something that isn't to bad, but can add some complications.

I ended up cutting a small hole. Simple enough for now:

I don't have a body lift or a supercharger.

Breknraj did a really nice mod to his hood also... but I can't find the thread about it. I thought it was in his 3.4 swap. Maybe he'll chime in or PM him for some more info.

BTW here's the 3.4 swap section:

It does sit higher but I'm not sure the exact difference. It couldn't be too much though, the newer 2nd gen (black paint) is lower than the 1st gen (gray paint) by about 3/4" IIRC. I already had a 1" BL is why I used that, if I was to do one again I'd do 1 1/2" BL. Roger (4crawler) will make custom sizes.

I am gonna be doing a 2nd gen black s/c 3.4 swap into my 90 and I am thinking about cutting the hood and putting a CHEVY COWL INDUCTION SCOOP on and glassing it into place it measures out fine will fit perfectly between the washer things and fits the natural beds of the stock hood.

Semper Fi, Devil Dog... My in-laws in Pryor, so im 5 hours away. Im pretty close to Edmond too i believe. Are there any Salvage Yard's that carry Toyota stuff around your neck of the wood's? Hope to meet you soon.

freefallmarine · 01-13-2008, 12:33 AM

So i guess no one make's a aftermarket hood for the 4Runner's.

freefallmarine · 01-13-2008, 06:15 AM

Any pic's off diffrent hood scoop's would be great too. Thank's.

There is one in South OKC, but they suck. I think they dismantle everything with a crow bar lol.

Thanks for your service to our country BTW. Lets roll

I used a smaller copy of the Mustang scoop (Evil-bay $40). Long-term plans call for a cowl-hood. I don't have any body lift, so I needed to trim about an 8x10 offset hole in the hood.

freefallmarine · 01-13-2008, 10:57 PM

89934runner, that looks great!
