I need to find a cheap motor for my 4runner. the rods knocking and the trucks just sitting untill i can get it fix.

 

It will help people to help you, if you give us some specs as to what you're driving.

 

'91 4runner sr5 3.0 v6 5speed 4x4

 

Give www.orientengine.com a shot. I don't know if $2k plus core charge is too much but they're awesome!

 

You'll find that a quality re-man 3VZ-E will be pretty pricey. That was part of the reason that I chose to go with a 5VZ-FE from a Taco. It is a pretty easy conversion, and it is a significantly better engine for our trucks and Runners.

Read the Engine swap section, and see for yourself. The price ranges are all over, depending on time, money and individual skills. I love having it in my truck!
