alright guys im back my 4runner has just been glaring at me for the past couple months after it blew the headgaskets but i have my stuff in order and know what im gonna be doin. Rebuilding the top end of the 3.0, re doing the whole exhaust, taking everything smog off, cutting off the portion of truck with the windows, fabbing rear control arms....basically im gonna go nuts on this thing cuz its just for off road now....anyway its great to be back i missed this forum!!

 

they alllllways come back.

 

even when they get banned

 

Keep us posted with some pics of your progress. I like looking at build ups to give me ideas

 

sounds like a lot of work. PICTURES OR BAN!

 

ok im starting the desembling of the engine and the first thing i do after port and polishing the heads and replacing the head gaskets is working on the exhaust....i gotta get rid of the y pipe that comes behind hte block i don't know whose "genius" idea that was but i was going to fabricate my own long tube headers and run true dual exhaust because im going to be putting a fuel cell in so the gas tank will be out of the way.....Does this engine need the back pressure of single exhaust to keep the torque numbers...because i was gonna run a custom longtube header into 2 in pipe to try and keep the back pressure cuz since its a 3.0 it needs something. i would have the exhaust exit out right before the rear wheels. Anybody else have any idea's??

 

oh and i might re lobe the cams to get some extra hp soooo weazy can you mildy explain how you do it
