yotaman's 2nd Gen 3.4 swap! - Page 4

yotaman · 08-17-2007, 10:46 PM

I've got over 300 miles on the truck and it's doing good. I still don't have the hood on.

Dante82 · 08-19-2007, 01:11 PM

Thanks for all this info. I have a question about what did you use for the clutch? I heard that the flywheel for both the 3.0 and 3.4 are the same. Can you use the 3.0 clutch also? And what about the t.o bearing and pilot bearing?

Thanks

I used the 3.4 flywheel, pressure plate, clutch disk and pilot bearing. I used the 3.0 throw out bearing.

Really nice looking swap! Wish I had the know how for that kind of thing.

1uz Celica...wow. That would be awesome!

Thanks.

It was so much fun I got another 1990 4Runner to swap another 3.4 with an automatic in. My woman doesn't like driving the 5 speed. I understand what she is saying, It's a real pain (even dangerous) to drive the 5 speed when you have a child in the back seat wanting attention.

I'm still trying to find a 1970-1974 Celica in good shape to swap my 1UZ in. It'll be cool. It'll have rack and pinion steering maybe a 5 speed, 9.5" FJ80 ring & pinion, etc, etc, etc. If anyone finds one in good shape let me know.

I know someone who has a 3.4 for an automatic...pm me an offer, you know what I got in it

thefallman · 08-23-2007, 09:32 PM

the only 2 parts i bought from ORS was the crossover and battery tray.

Crossover because everyone i talked to said it would cost more to have them fab it and i didnt have the time to do it myself. plus there's is really very nice and well put together.

the battery tray because i wasnt any extra shipping and i didnt want to have to screw with that cause i got myself into a real time crunch at the end of the swap i was moving out of state and was already 2 weeks late.

My muffler shop said if I bring them the motor before it's put into the truck they'd do the crossover for $100.00 using the stock Toyota flex joint.

I'll get in touch in a few weeks to see if you still have it. What I do need is a Auto for this truck. I'm thinking the transfer case is messed up but it might be the transmission to. It will not move if you have the transfer case in 2 HIGH or 4 HIGH. It's fine in 4 LOW. I'm hoping it's just the transfer case. Anyone have any ideas?

thefallman · 08-24-2007, 09:54 AM

hey been doing research on the Auto transmission issue for our trucks. Look into the A343F it comes in the LX450 and Landcruisers you want the 95 to 97 i believe it still has a right side drop too im going to find out today. ill post what i find and hopefully have some pics too.

You are correct on the drop. It's a passenger side drop. I think the transfer case rear output is also off center to the passenger side to because the rear FZJ80 axle I have is offset a few inches to the passenger side.

thefallman · 08-24-2007, 03:33 PM

ill post pics tonight but yes right side drop but the rear output is also dropped to the right side.

DH6twinotter · 08-24-2007, 05:06 PM

Is the A343F's tcase full-time with a lockable center diff, or am I thinking of something else? Are there any pros or cons to this other than a bit more wear and tear on the front?

Greg, I'll keep an eye out for celicas.

You are correct DH6. The cruiser transmissions are full time.

I know the AW4 transmissions in Jeeps are built by Aisin and share the same internals as the A340H. They have a mechanical transfer case like the A340F that come in the Tacomas and new 96+ 4Runners. The AW4 has a passenger side drop transfer case unlike the A340F.

I have a buddy with a few good AW4's so I'm thinking about trying to make one work in this truck. I have to measure it to see if it's to long or short. We'll see.

DH6twinotter · 08-27-2007, 05:59 PM

Wow...good to know! I find it amazing how some folks on this forum can find parts from one engine or make and fit it on another. Pretty slick stuff!

thefallman · 08-27-2007, 06:06 PM

Greg

with that AW4 you should beable to just change the bell housing and shorten or lengthen your drivelines

That and just figure out the cross member. It's to bad this is the womens little truck and not the beater or I'd put a Dana 300 behind it so I could do front digs.

Four Runner · 08-27-2007, 08:02 PM

Greg!! Sorry I havn't chimed back in sooner, way busy, as I'm sure you are.

Let us know if the overheating's solved, and oh yeah, you would've been drooling today!! Buddy bought a 73 Celica and we've been going around hunting parts.
