Okay Guys the time has come to start a thread and try and maintain it while working full time and doing my 2n'd 3.4 A340H swap. I recently acquired a 92 4Runner that has a blown 3.0 (Bad knock, and bent valves in holes 3 and 4) if it was fixable (i.e. head-gasket) i would have just fixed it. Anyway So i also Acquired a 3.4 for $200, it has a blown head-gasket. thats not to hard of a fix i figure. But with my truck down because of its frame damage. I have a complete swap sitting in it. So what i will be doing is temporarily (till i get the truck fixed) borrowing the Harness and Engine. Engine will stay perm ill put the rebuilt 3.4 in my truck after fixing it. I think u all will understand in the long run. Anyway I will try to document this swap as much as i possibly can. I will be making a T100 Conversion harness for my original swap and for the new 4runner swap, 2 total. I will document and take as many pictures as i can.

Here are pictures of the 92 4runner and the blown 3.slow.

 

Good luck mate. Can't wait to see how it turns out. And thanks for the help with mine too!

 

Well I pulled the engine from my truck the other-day, and managed to drop it when the chain mysteriously came unhooked. It was dark +30 and no lights by the time i set it down in front of the truck. I haven't been back to it since. So i have no idea on what kind of damage I did to the engine or the truck itself, when the engine dropped about 18 inches onto the diff. Sunday i hope to pick the engine up and bring it home to put in the 4runner.

 

that sucks. hopefully its nothing or worse case the oil pan is dented. hopefully

 

just a heads up, i pulled the crossover off to inspect it just to check and see. and guess what i found. Yep you got it I found a crack in that Y. it was about an inch long and was very thin but it was cracked. ill post picks up tomorrow of it after i had it fixed. So you all might want to check those crossovers again. Especially since ORS isnt around to get knew ones from.

 

Well i figured Sunday the 27th would be a great day to drop the 3.4 in the 4runner and get the majority of this swap wrapped up. But we had a little interruption. Probably the best kind of interruption u can get but non the less it will be next week before i get a chance to drop the engine in
