Greetings all,

after working for a while on the engine/mounts, etc. modifications (despite the Internet claims that "it will just bolt on" which really did not work for me, I am about ready to bolt the 3.4l engine into the 1st generation 4Runner which had the 3.0 l engine, but I am missing the cross-over pipe. There are several places offering the conversion, https://www.offroadsolutions.com/, https://www.yotashop.com/, https://toyonlyswaps.com/, with prices ranging from $225 (core needed) to $599. Is there any difference between the different offerings?

The second question I have is that apparently there are different flanges; this is the one I have:
I do not know, it it is clear from the picture, but the ring stick out from the flange. Could you please advice whether any of the cross-over pipes will fit?

The https://toyonlyswaps.com/ is the most affordable, unfortunately, in all my trips to the junk yards (SoCal) most of the 3.4l engine accessories are missing, so I was unable to find one. So, I was wondering whether someone would have a core or even the cross-over pipe.

Kindest regards,

M
