Lol no worries my 3.0 is plagued with issue...im trying to maintain it till i can find a way to do the 3.4 swap.

I spoke to Yotamasters last week and the gentleman stated if he had to give a rough estimate, it would be 3000 if i provide the engine and ecu.

Not a bad deal with the dealership, which one is that? I am a school teacher with no mechanical skill, but i am thinking the best way at the moment would be to purchase the full kit from ORS and source my own 3.4 engine with ecu and try to install it myself.

That will save major dollars, but i am also concerned that it will way above my skill set, although i can follow directions pretty well.

I was quoted by protrux today 9000 for the swap into my 1991 pickup (dayum Gina)

That dealership is in San Diego. I think I'm gonna go with ORW, they quoted me 800 I just need to get parts.

I'm somewhat mechanically inclined but I'm sure I would mess something up so I don't even want to try haha

Are you going to send your truck to them? I was thinking about doing that same thing but was worrying about the shipping cost to Colorado. What parts are they require you to get? Basically all the parts from there conversion kit?

Having ORS or toys only swaps to do it might be my best route, like you I want to swap to be perfect and I am not confident in doing that I need reliability for my excursions. Thanks for your time bro much appreciated
