Alright I have read a coue of rma swaps and I am dumbfounded..
Alright I was set on doing a 5vz swap with a sc, but am really thinking a 1uz is better, I wanna know what exactly there is to doing the swap? I have a complete gutted 88 runner that had the 3.0 pulled that and all wires for it, so I have a clean canvas to paint, could I use the donor cars whole motor chassis wiring system? Not using the 3.0 gas tank going to run a custom fuel cell and run new lines for everything. I want to run a 5speed with dual cases, besides all the obvious fab work, how can I do it?

 

Not trying to be rude but you need to just do lots of reading. If you have specific questions, I and the rest of us that have completed this swap would be more than happy to answer them but general questions will only confuse you.

As for the question about the wiring. There is some of the chassis harness that you will need but there is about 5 times the amount of wiring in the Lexus than there is in the 4Runner and 90% of it doesn't get used. All of the plug changes occur at where they connect to the 1uz engine computer and a few at the alternator.

 

Well the only real question I wanna know is, how do I keep my manual? What all is needed?

 

Custom Bellhousing or Bellhousing adapter.

Then you can get a flywheel and clutch from the same place, get a 3.0 flywheel modified to fit or have somewhere custom make one.

 

I read somewhere a 3.4 flywheel would be better? Or does it really matter?

 

im running a 3.0 flywheel. the only diff in the 3.4 and 3.0 is i do belige half an inch. as the 3.4 has a 10 inch clutch and the 3.0 has a 9.5 i do belive. i got my bell housing from ks racing.
