Your attention to details on this build should really help others following in your foot steps.

I've been trying to focus a lot of attention on the auto tranny parts of this swap because there isn't much info out there on the auto, most guys doing this swap have 5 speeds. Ironic because the 3.0 auto is the biggest dog of the two. Without the power and proper gearing the 3.0 auto is basicly a 3 speed truck.

mt goat - considering the swap in my 95 5 spd... are the ORS instructions pretty thorough? from this thread it sounds pretty intense, but Im wondering if just the engine swap is more standard than a lot of the additional mods you are making... where else can I find information on this swap - ie other forums? Thanks.

Through this whole thread I have purposely not repeated any of Mike's instructions as ORS does not authorize the sharing of them. I have instead tried to focused on things not covered by the ORS instructions and the extra goodies I'm installing that are not part of the basic swap, and as mentioned earlier the auto tranny part of the swap. I wish I had put auto transmission in the title of this thread now, maybe I can still add it. Nope it didn't let me, Mods could you help me with that?
The swap with a manual tranny is easier and is covered a lot on forums like here. Also try over at 4x4wire: http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/postli...t=&Board=UBB11
And of course ORS: http://www.offroadsolutions.com/tech...ersion_kit.htm
Also some good info on Pirate but they don't have free search anymore so use Google advanced search features to search for them by adding Pirate to your search words: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=12
Mike and the ORS staff have been very helpful to me and I never could have done this swap without them. They provide a great product and stand behind it with customer support. It's a good thing my cell phone has a free long distance plan, because I can't count the number of calls I've made for help. They may not always answer the phone but they do return calls and are very helpful.

Actually Brian, I installed the 2.1 pulley already (because of trips to high elevations) and the URD kit includes bigger fuel injecters (318cc). My hope was to double the HP of the 3.slow lol.

One way or another, I'd say 360-375hp would be a safe estimate... you're going to double the output of the 3.4l, not just the 3.0l!
When I said bigger injectors I meant bigger than the 318cc that come in the URD kit BTW... perhaps 370cc?
My hope is actually to TRIPLE the output of my 3.0 with my new 4Runner, since with the altitude losses my little 3.0 is only putting out about 105-110 hp at 7500 ft I'll be more than happy with about 330hp, it's hard to make an auto tranny that keeps up (ask midiwall), know what I mean?

Oh did I mention I'm hoping to get better gas mileage too?

Ok fine I couldn't help myself...
I looked up some numbers, made some asusmptions about your stock gear ratios and transmission ratios here's what I got:
Stock Crawl Ratio: 44.8:1
New Crawl Ratio: 334.3 (assuming dual 4:1 t-cases, correct?)
Torque at one corner, assuming all equally split with stock engine and setup: 1794 ft-lbs
Torque at one corner, assuming all equally split with new setup (including engine's increased output, increased tire diamteter, etc.): 31140 ft-lbs
That's a 1636% increase from stock torque Sounds like even your rear axle could be in danger at those levels, or your driveshafts...
Might want to carry two space CV's

Numerically, without a TC correction and 5.29's you are talking about 160:1 if I remember right. Factor a casual doubling at lock up and it goes slow.
My truck in double low (3.4 swap, auto, 5.29's, one stock case and one 4.7 case) will not go any faster or slower with brakes or gas. In just 4.7 low it drives itself too.
I killed steering more often than joints.
Done yet?

One thing is I wasn't sure on is the first gear ratio... From what I could find a 2001 Tacoma with a 3.4l/auto has a 3.95:1 first gear, compared to a 1993 4Runner's auto first gear being 3.64:1, so this has some factor in the crawl ratio difference too (unless I am mistaken on the transmission being used). I didn't bother with TC calcs.

I just test fit the tranny and marked where the crawler was hitting the floor board so I can cut a hole for the 2nd TC shifter. Looks like I'm going to have to dog leg both shifters about an inch forward to come up in the right spot. Did you have to do that Adrian?

I have 2k 4Runner drivetrain, well engine and tranny.
My shifters are pretty straight Dale. Little flared at the top to give clearance.
Using those numbers, a 2.28 case, a 4.7 case and 5.29 diff gears sounds too deep.
I thought an auto had like a high 2 or low 3 to 1 ration.
Just the diff, 4.7 case and 2.28 case give about 57. Multiply that by first gear.
In the real world, it is really slow. I grab neutral to stop if it is really sketch and only use double low if I need to back slowly out of bad stuff. It is too low to gas and get away in double low.
