Hello my name is mike and im planning to swap a toyota 4.7l V8 (2UZ) out of a sequioa into my T100. Im a new member and i want to share and learn
If this post actually goes up, ill upload some pics

 

Looks like it worked. but i mispelled "swap" lol is there any way to change the thread title?
anyways this is my baby
1993 T100 single cab 5 speed 4x4
rusty but trusty



I bought it in 2016 with a blown 3.0l motor






yanked another 3.0 from a 4runner just to get it up and running

 

About the same time that i got it running, my daily driver actually broke down, so the T100 became my daily and has been my daily for years and never let me down






I love the truck but it always felt underpowered, slow, and there is so much room in that engine bay. a V8 belongs in there
also recently i got my regular daily driver up and running so now i can put the T100 under the knife
started looking around for any tundra/sequioas for cheap and i found this one for a good price

 

ive only ever done direct motor replacements in vehicles, so this will be my first time doing something like this. i have a lot to learn
the major thing about this swap is that i want to keep the 5spd 4x4 transmission that came with the truck. so i need to get a custom adapter plate or bellhousing kit to mate the 4.7l motor to the 3.0l trans.
ive been calling/emailing around to every shop i can think of - LC Engineering, KS Racing, Advance Adapters, Trail Gear, they all said they dont do that kind of thing. the guy at LC recommended that i call Chilkat Design, but i havent heard back from them yet

 

That 3.0 looks tiny in that engine bay.

Does this site help at all? They may be able to help with the adapter

yes they had exactly what i needed. thank you so much man, i have no idea what i would have done if you didnt suggest XAT

 

Its been over a year since i got the sequoia to swap the V8 into my T100, and after i took the 3.0 out ive made zero progress because life
now its time to get it done, i got the sequoia back to my house and half garage, ready to take the V8 out. the adapter kit to mate the 2UZ to my R151 transmission should be arriving early next week (thank you again for the suggestion rattlewagon)
while im waiting for the adapter my plan is to get the UZ in the engine bay of my T100, figure out all the wiring plumbing needed to get the engine running, so i can get rid of the sequoia as soon as possible because space is currently an issue where im living.

 

I was looking at this "thing" on the passenger side of the T100 frame and im not quite sure what it is...its got wires going to it, power steering lines and brake lines. I cannot figure out what the purpose of this is? anyone see this before? will i still need this with the new power steering pump on the 2UZ?

 

engine is in the engine bay, just sitting on pieces of wood for now until the adapter kit comes in.

 

hey Mike, I'm doing an extremely similar swap, I have a 96 4x4 5 spd, with the r150f, I also have an 04 sequoia I'll be using the 2uz from, I have not started my swap yet, but will be in the next few months, I plan to have all the parts I need before beginning the process, and I was wondering if you could tell me if yours has room for the factory 2uz clutch fan with the factory t100 radiator, and if you are leaving your trans in factory location. I'll be using the same xat adaptor plate for reference. Thank you in advance, I hope we can both lend advice to eachother during this process

 

So i was talking to the guy at XAT racing and he said the simplest way to do the swap is to leave the trans in the stock location so that you dont have to mess around with your driveshaft length or shifters going into the cab, and just let the engine sit where it sits. which made total sense at the time
so i did that, but now that its sitting in the engine bay it looks way too far forward, and there is no way that the stock clutch fan will fit in there. i didnt have time to test fit the stock T100 radiator yet, but just eyeballing it, it will be a tight squeeze
your question is a great segway into the next thing i wanted to say anyways
once i know everything is good and the truck runs and drives with the 2UZ, i want to actually shift the drivetrain back about 3-4 inches, because with the engine in this current position it just looks like its gonna be extremely front heavy.
i know that involves a lot of work and ive never done anything like that before, but ill cross that bridge when i come to it

 

that's what I plan to do as well, is leave it in the factory location, I'm going to see if I can fit the clutch fan, but I believe I will have to use a thin efan with the stock radiator. Is there a way I can reach you on Facebook? May be easier to talk about the issues and solutions we come across

 

its been a while but i finally was able to get a place where i can work on the truck.
the transmission mount is currently in its stock location, but the engine is sitting WAY too far forward. i cannot even fit the radiator in because the bottom hits the oil filter.
the stock T100 radiator barely fits in there, even then, the inlets and outlets are on opposite sides.
also there is a lot of space between the rear of the engine and the firewall.
so now this means i have to move the engine back. im thinking 4 inches

 

Moved the engine back and the radiator fits.
took the radiator back out and found that the T100 power steering lines are in the way of the radiator. now i gotta get hoses made at my local hydraulic shop (if they even can)

The radiator from the sequoia fits down between the frame rails. i had to do a little grinding on the radiator bracket to make it fit, but definately need to get those power steering hard lines outta there

 

found out what this is. its the ABS system. im just gonna delete it

 

i couldnt find anyone who had these kind of fuel fittings and i have no idea what they're called or where to get them
so a couple guys who have done toyota swaps told me just to cut the nylon fuel line coming from the rail and hose clamp some 5/16" barricaded fuel hose onto the barbed side of the fitting, extending it to reach the passenger side where the fuel feed is
