Is this possible

How difficult would it be to drop this engine and transmission into my 95, 2wd, 4runner.. I've never done an engine swap but I'm not completely with out mechanical abilities..

Might as well put a 350 in it if you are going to do that. If you are just going to put a V6 in there then get a 3.4.

I would rather go the 3.4 route for a few reasons : I believe it's a better motor, easy to swap over and a Toyota product. But this 3.8 is cheaper, dirt cheap in comparison!!! And I honestly don't have the liquid cash right now for a 3.4 swap. I actually starting to think some of you guys must be pretty well off compared to me..
