Will the 5VZ bolt into my 3RZ equipped 97 Taco...
Yep..the dead horse is back..go on beat him. I haven't posted in 6 months! Now I am back at the torch again...I have a 97 Taco..with a 2.7 in it. Its 4WD 5 spd...And I want the 5vz 3.4 in it. Bellhousing the same? Motor mounts? How bout tranny crossmember? The exhaust fairly easy to fab? I know I don't "technically" need the harness and ECU, but it makes it easier! I wonder if I can find the thread where I swapped in a 3. slow in place of my 22re? Yes thats what I did...just cuz I could do it. Anyway I guess thats my only question..motor mounts good? Bellhousing?

Wouldn't it be easier just to get a Tacoma with a 3.4 already in it? If I did a swap I'd do something like a 1UZ or 1GR.

I'd still swap in a bigger engine.

well.. you'd need everything under the hood and the tranny i believe. complete engine wiring harness and ecu. you cant' run a 6 cylinder motor with an ecu that was made for 4 cylinders. I got my complete 3.4 swap for 1500 so... look around at wrecking yards i'm sure you'll find something.

So the tranny isn't compatible with the 2.7 tranny? I know I need the ECU for the 6, it just doesn't matter if ya have an auto tranny ecu or manual..I just pin the correct wires to fool it..got that under control.

As far as I know you will need the engine, harness computer all the sensors and well everything under the hood and the transmission. Cause they don't match. So for all that work I would go bigger or buy a different taco. (there are some good deals out there, yes for 2 grand)
