so here is my problem i have a 1991 4runner with 200k miles on it and the body is in very good condition however because it was run without oil it needs a new engine i have about 10 grand to spend and i am not sure if i should buy a newer 4runner (96-02) with between 80k and 120k on it or drop the money into getting a new engine and some sweet rims and tires. i have been unable to make up my mind
any input would be great

 

If I was you, I would put in a 3.4 5vze engine with a supercharger, and buy some rims and tires, do you have another vehicle to drive while this is being done?

 

ya i do is that possible to put a 3.4 4runner engine with the supercharger in to mine? cuz that would be sweet

 

Very possible, and it's been done a number of times!

I don't have the S/C, but I got my 5V up and running in my '90 truck just before Christmas -- GREAT engine!

 

Anythings possible, with enough $$$

If you have a 3.0 now, then the 3.4 swap isn't a huge deal. A quick search will turn up tons of treads on guys doing it. There are kits, and not a ton of fab in it.

If you've got a 22RE I'd think about a 3RZ swap. In this case if you didn't want to do a swap, with a 10K budget you could rig up a turbo and actually have the budget to do it right. But seeing that it's a 91, I'm guessing it's a V6.

is there different types of 3.4l 4runner engines and if so which one should i go for, also how much HP do they have?
