So what are the downsides to the 3.4 if any and is it a complete swap over or is a kit needed?

 

You will need to read through here:

ORS sells a kit for the wiring, many here have done the wiring themselves however. Mechanically, both the 3.0 and 3.4 bolt in to the same frame mounts and the bellhousings are compatible.

 

Im sorry i don't understand the question

 

^^ That was quite funny

If you got the money, 3.4 is a great swap. One of the easiest swaps that can be done on our trucks. Same engine mounts, tranny bolts right up, same rad etc. etc.

 

thank you

 

ooo ok, my dad had a 4 cylinder early model tacoma, so thats what came in it?

 

yeah but the swap is gonna cost you about 4 grand...

 

Well I do thank you but I am now down to two options

#1 Rebuild the old 3 slow
#2 swap for the 3.4

Dont know which one yet it will take some research

 

swap in the 3.4 & use the wiring harness that's already built; it'll save you a lot of time & hassle from what I've read. Also (from what I've read) the 3.4 gets better fuel economy than the 3.0 even though it produces more hp.

That's my .02
