Is it possible?

To swap in a 4.6L chevy v6 in place of the 3.0L? Seems this motors would be easier to fix (cheaper too) than the 3.0L. Just wondering if it possible and what is needed to do the swap.

I have an 88 Blazer Tahoe w/ a bad body but a newer motor, and a nice 4Runner with a bad motor.

The only motors I have found are over $1,200.

I blame that on mild dyslexia and high amounts of being blond. Will the 4.3 fit the 3.0 5 speed, or are there adapters available? Also, what is involved in splicing the wiring harness?

Why is dyslexia so hard to spell?

I dont know the specifics of the actual swap really, do know it will fit and it has been done before. iw ould assume they eiether make an adpater to fit the yota trans or you need to swap in another trans.

As for the wiring harness, not a clue.

But I bet someone knows more than I do.

Yes, Chevy did make a 4.6 liter engine, just not a V6. I have one in my Toy
