well the truck that i was first told was a 1996 taco turned out to be a 06 taco. other than not having a hole for the dipstick there is there any major issues anyone sees putting in the 3.4 auto w/ harness and ecm into a 93 p/u with a manual trans???? (the r150 is staying in the truck)

 

do it!

 

Are you sure it's an '06? Visually, the difference between the two generations is pretty obvious. If it is, you have a lot more work ahead of you because that engine is the 4.0 1GR-FE, not the 3.4. Basically, it is completely different than the 3.4 and will not be quite the plug & play swap that the 3.4 is. I believe it is quite a bit taller than the 3.4, so just getting it in the engine compartment will take some fabricating. I have yet to see a write-up on a 4.0 V6 swap, so much of this would be unchartered waters for you. Given the choice, the aluminum block 4.0 would be a nicer engine to swap into our trucks.

 

it is also drive by wire.

 

i wasnt entirely sure myself so i went and looked. its not the 2nd gen its a 04 with the trd package. while everyones kinda looking at this i have a auto trans and a tc out of this 04 with 40,000 miles on it that i need to try and get rid of.

 

Post it for sale at TTORA. A low mileage tranny should sell pretty easy over there.

 

So im still trying to figure out my exhaust and i need to know what are the pros and cons of the Gibson GP601 and the JBA 2032SJT. I dont know if either will fit or not.
my guess is that the gibson wont fit with the steering column in the way but i still dont know about the JBA's so let me know what you guys think.

Also if you have an idea for the system itself let me know.
