Price for Used 3.0
Hi All,
I need a 3.0 and found one for $700 used at a salvage yard. Is this a fair price especially since it has 100,000+ miles? There is also one for $300 but has top end noise, which should I go for?

Wow! $700.00 for a weak engine with over 100K.
Why not just go for the 3.4???? Better engine for roughly the same price. Or even a Supra swap?
With whatever you choose good luck.

Ok, I know about engine swaps. I agree 3.4 is a million times better. My question then would be how does the wiring for the motors differ? Would I have to change the wiring and the computer? Does anyone have a 3.4 laying around? I've found plenty of 22re's 2 3.0's and asked about the 3.4 but haven't found any.

Chevrolet Vortec V6
I have a Toy 3.slow that has 203k & limping on its last leg. I was going to go do it in at PNWYJ03 but it was cancelled. So here I am pavement pounding til it stops breathing. I want a Chevy Vortec but am not sure on the compatibility of it into my 4Runner. Any ideas?
