hey i got a 91 runner and im gettin ready to pull the 3vze out and rebuild/ swap it with something else. if i end up swapping it i would like to do a vortec v6. i just dont know if it is worth the money to rebuild the 3vze as this will be a trail rig in the future...HELP!!!

ZP

 

go vortec, if thats what you want to do. the vortec 4.3 is a great motor. though the 3.4 would be an easier swap....

 

4.3 ftl




3.4 ftw

 

I am in the same situation...my 3.0 is shot and I need to do something...I want to swap it out for some good horsepower (250+) but I am not sure what engine to use...lots of people tell me to do the Toyota 3.4 SC but others say go with a big chevy... any ideas would be great! Also, it will be an auto trans.

 

Go ahaed and do the 4.3L swap. I hear its easier then a 3.4L to get running. I kinda like to keep toyota engines inside these, but I know those 4.3Ls are a nice package...

pretty sure advanced sells adapters for it...

if you had the cash and time, 1uzfe swap

 

been leaning most heavily towards the vortec i got my dads buddy holding one for me at a junk yard until i cut my decision. sweet idea though on 1uzfe i checked it out looks like way to much moneys for me. i will keep you guys up with my build but dont let the advice stop here. im thinkin downey offroad for my adapter and mounts??? also coming this summer an sas, 35's, cage/exo and a bob
