Question swap in tacoma engine in 86 p/u

All man, the title of this thread says it all. You guys are gonna me hate for this post, I know it!

Yeah, I'm new, or green, however you want to put it.

I have an 86 4x4 EFI with 287k going on second motor. I'd like to put a 3.4L tacoma engine in it, or at least start planning this project. I didn't see anything related after searching the forums regarding this matter (not denying I missed something either).

So if any of you could kindly point me in the right direction as to where I may find some info, I'd really appreciate it.

First off welcome to YT, one of your more friendly Toyota sites. and thanks for posting in Newbie tech, first post, right section...Off to a good start.

Anyway for 3.4 Swap info, there is a folder on it: 3.4 Engine Swaps

Another source you might want to check out is ORS: http://www.offroadsolutions.com/prod...e_upgrades.htm
they have a good section of FAQ's

Good luck!

whoops: think techical page at ORS might be more helps than the products page: http://www.offroadsolutions.com/technicalarticles.htm

Be sure to check this particular thread:

Mike and his team at ORS are putting a 3.4 into an '85 - you should find a lot of usefull information, there.

Pirate 4x4 has a good write up on the 3.4 swap. They aren't as mannered over there though.
