Hi everyone I'm new to this forum and I need some help. so I have a 1993 4runner 4x4 automatic and I'm doing a ''simple'' engine swap taking the 3.slow with transmission and transfer case out of it and putting a 3.4 engine, automatic transmission, transfer case and wiring harness of course out of a 1996 4runner. now the thing is that the front differential from my 1993 4runner is on the right side as well as my transfer case. now the transfer case from the 1996 4runner is on the left side and well as the front differential, now my question is will it be better to take the front differential out of the 1996 4runner and put it on mine and will it fit? or is it easier to get some type of an adapter for it? thank you for taking your time reading my post I tried to explain my self as best as I could hope to hear from someone soon!

 

3.4 --> tranny --> adapter --> pre-95 gear-driven t-case

check out marlin crawler and inchworm gear websites to get an idea of what adapters to look for

good luck!

 

@irab88 thanks for the help..

Read through some of the threads to get an idea of what you're up against. The 5speed swap is certainly easier and more popular but there are a few really good auto swaps (some keep the 3.0 automatic, others use the 3.4's).

Vasinvictor's swap seems like something similar to what you want to do, https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f160...0-auto-246861/

 

I appreciate it @sacrunner!
