need help finding year/model based on engine serial number
 

hey
i am new to this site and fairly new to owning a Toyota... i got an 89 pick up i'm doing an engine swap in cause two head gaskets blew...got a complete 97 t100 for 500. problem is the engine had already been swapped into that truck so i cant use the VIN from the parts truck to get the info from.
looking for help to get year and model based off the engine block serial number.... these are the numbers i got off the engine block the other day. 0209638. i believe it is from a 4runner. and the numbers came from above the oil filter on the passengers side.

thanks

Welcome to the forum. It should say on the valve cover. If you don't see it there, post a picture here and people can identify it.

thanks, i checked out the forum for a while during the process of this swap and just now decided to join... im headin out to the truck on friday. im trying to do the wiring thats where im stick... wanted to the truck running before snow...and my friend said i needed to know the year and model of the vehicle the engine originally came out of.

i had a 3.0L v6 in the 89 now its 3.4L v6......

any helpful tips about the swap you can throw my way would be appreciated cause its now just me finishing it cause my boyfriend got too frustrated with it. haha

Can you find out from whever owned the t100?

there is a vin tag on the block behind the a/c compressor bracket.

thank you. i will have a look for the vin tag when i go on friday. i tried going thru the guy i bought it from but he was no help at all... thats why i figured id try the serial number on the block but once i had it i wasn't sure where to go from there.

did you have any luck with the serial number you found on the engine?
thanks
