Question Junkyard swap?

Hey everyone. My HG blew in my 88 4runner 3.0 auto. I am going to do the 3.4 swap but first I need the 3.4. I am considering a Junkyard. Has any ever had success or heard of anyone having success of stripping out everything needed out of a running donor vehicle at a junkyard for the 3.4 swap? Thanks

Try to get the engine, ECU and engine wiring harness out of the same truck -- it will make your life A LOT easier!

Even better, if you can get all of that, plus all of the bolt ons (alt, P/S, A/C, intake, starter)

Let me know what you find out when you do this. I am interested in doing the same myself here in the future, when mine goes.
