4runner lexus v8 conversion

I wanted to ask if anyone knows if the company or any company that makes the “Venom Loom” for the 4runner lexus v8 conversion. I found this website and sent 2 emails but never got a response. http://www.venomcobras.com/subpage.html

Does any one know where I can get one of these or how to contact this company?

Agreed but Venom makes or used to make the loom so this is plug n play. I dont need them to install I just need to buy that product. I am looking into this company local who estimates this build from $4500 to $5500 and they are one of AZ leading engine converters. Still I need that Venokm loom

yea these guys can sell you a plug and play harness , you dont need to take the car over there.

so this $5500 estimate is without wiring .

The $4500 to $5500 includes me delivering a de-motored 4runner with the plug and play harness, v8 motor complete with pairing tranny, rad and fans. They install everything.

Here is their website

wow thats alot of money, they must be building the motor, using gold plated wire or their labor rate is 200 an hour?? undergoing this build myslef buying a 90 ls400 tomorrow.
now if money is not an issue, and-or you have no fab/swap/wiring experience, for a good clean install with working gauges and no issues it might be worth 5k... but thats still a good hunk of change.

Getting my harness from Phoenix, also. $560+my shipping to them (which was $45!).

I wouldn't trust many shops to do this swap, let alone the one you posted. There's ALOT of work involved, and you need to have at least a hand in the process or have an experience Toyota shop do it.
