Very easy and benefitial swap I would take the 3RZ. I'm putting one in my 90 runner right now. Chilkat makes motor mounts. Motor
Bolts right to a W56, G54, or G52 trans but not the Rseries trans
Those motors around here run $800-$1509 used!! But I got one for $200 and all I can take off the truck
Offroad Solutions sells a conversion wiring harness as well

If your going to spend the money and work to put a computer controlled engine
in your truck might as well go with sixty more HP than ten.

There is no such thing as a rebuilt motor....unless you did it...or you bought it rebuilt first hand. Everyone's used motor on Craigslist was "just rebuilt".
