3VZE Capatability
I recently snapped a rod in my 92 4Runner 3VZE and am curious what years would work. A friend more familiar with Yota engines mentioned only 90-92 3VZE V6 engines would swap directly. But, it appears the 3VZE engine was available for more years than 90-92. I found a 3VZE from a 93 runner and am curious as to what the potential differences and problems would be during installation into my 92 4Runner.
Thanks

hmmmm as far as the con rod I dont know, but the only difference that Im aware of is the timing belt tensioning system which would have no bearing on the conrods...
ttt - Maybe someone else knows?

there are bolt hole differences in how the motor mounts bolt to the block. There is only 2 styles I believe, 2 bolt and 3 bolt. There was a post on here somewhere a few month's back where I posted a few pics to help another member out who had purchased a newer motor to find he had some mount issues.

Thanks for the responses. Im swapping the entire engine. I've heard that the altenators may be different. I dont mind swapping some things out as long as it works with the ECU. I wonder if the motor mount thing will work if I use 93 mounts and where it mounts to the frame is the same. Anyone else have any more info on this swap? Perhaps I should try to find a 92 engine. Tough to find a one or two year only part, let alone engine.
