that all depends on what your doing.... alot of people use the 3.4, (myself included)... there is also the 4.0 lexus, 4.3 chev, 350 chev, ford 302, etc etc...

when i build my truggy, i'll be with a RamJet 350

yes, i bought a 97 4runner that was a roll over victim... bought it whole for 1500 bucks, drove it onto a trailer, took it to my shop and stripped it.. sold everything (mostly everyhting, i still have some parts left over) and came out even.... keeping the motor for free
