engine swap; 94 V6 to 96 or newer V6?
I have a 94 4runner with a V6. I was wondering how much custom work would be involved if I wanted to swap the engine with a 96 or newer V6. I am interested in the engine swap and then adding a TRD supercharger.
Thanks
Thanks

Hey! Welome to the forum! Watch you wallet dissapear Lots of cool mods.
As far as I know, the 3.4 will use the existing engine mounts for your 3VZ-E. Seems like somebody here said a while ago that you will need the oil pan from a T100 so as to clear the front diff (is your 4Runner a 4x4?) I heard somewhere that the fuel line from the 3.0 comes in on the opposite side for the 3.4. Shouldn't be that difficult to fix. I believe you may also need a 2 inch body lift for extra engine clearance. That's about all I remember. I'm not a pro at this kinda stuff, but thought I'd just pass along what I think I can remember off the top of my head.
Here's somebody that has done the 3.4 and S/C swap to an '86.

Good find on that write up DH6. With the motor mounts having to be moved and an adapter employed for tranny/transfer marrage its not as simple as I was thinking it was. That write up is for a Tacoma motor. Its somewhat easier if you use a T100 motor.

I wonder if the motor mounts would have to be moved on <i>base554</i> truck? The guy who did the write up was putting in the 3.4 in place of a 22RE. I suppose the 22RE has different mounts then the 3.0 (I think). I had though that the 3.4 bolts to the excisting 3.0 mounts. I dunno--beats me.
Well, have fun all.

22RE to 2.7L
I want to do a 22RE to a 2.7l swap in my 954Runner. Aside from, intake, exhaust and fuel I think this swap will be easier that the 22RE to 3.4L, and the 2.7L blown still makes my 22RE look like a Briggs 5horse...

Try http://www.offroadsolutions.com./products.htm . They have a kit to do the conversion. I have read that the 3.4 is a direct bolt up to the 3.0, but the exhaust needs to be switched to the other side, a T-100 oil pan used to clear the front diff, and a few other minor things. Off Road Solutions has a picture on there site of a 3.4 in a truck or Runner. The picture is in there "showcase" section.

Kits
Under their new products under development, they are developing complete engine swap kits for the 3.4 and the 4.7. I really like the idea of a 4.7 in my 2nd Gen!!! If I did that, I'd get buried in it.

the ORS engine harnesses are made to order so you can basically swap the 3.4 into a vehicle originally equipped with a 3.0 and plug in the new harness and be good to go.

The i-FORCE v8 4.7L with a super charger in a 2nd gen? :eek: :eek: omg i want to do that mod soooooooo BAD.
The 3.4L swap seems more likely for me though...
I so want to be able to just sit there and spin the tires into oblivion....
Does anyone think that the stock 3.4L can take boost and juice? Something small, like a 50-75 shot of nos.....
