Got A 2001 Tacoma 4x4 3.4l That I Am Planning On Putting In A 84 4runner. The Question I Have Concerns The Oil Pan. Do I Need To Change The Oil Pan. How Much Lift Does It Take With Original Pan To Clear The Front Axle. Every Whre I Check They Talk Of Having To Replace It With A 2wd T100 Or Using A 3.0 Oil Pan.

 

Does that 84 have IFS?No....It should clear whatever pan you use.

*BZZ* Wrong

You need to use a 95-98 T100 2WD oil pan. Its a rear sump, and will not interfere with the front axle at all.

 

Is There Anyway Alter The Original Pan To Make It Fit?

 

No, just get the correct pan. You have already put the expense and time into installing the 3.4L, better to just do it right the first time rather than after you have punched a hole in the pan.

Try car-part.com if the $130 for a new one is too much

 

My buddies front axle w/the t-100 pan was hitting the draglink, with 4" springs, he put longer shackles on to fix.

 

that doesn't really "fix" the problem. If he hits a high flex situation where the suspension compresses suddenly, it could still hit the oil pan.

I take it he doesn't have the rear sump 2wd pan?

 

He does have the rear sump 2wd pan, under full compression, the draglink would rub the pan, and the bottom of the pan was rubbing the 3rd member, the longer shackles were just enough to fix it.

 

Hmm i didn't know it would do that. However, its stil much better than the 4x4 T100 pan, i have seen those things get crushed by the front axle lol
