Night I bought it 11/3/2015




















Bought a few stickers





Bought the new motor today 11/7/2015 will have it installed Monday and ready to drive by Wednesday

 

Looks like a straight truck. It is going to have a few issues that most are easily worked out. Welcome to Yotatech.

 

Looks good! Welcome to YT.

Glad you finally picked up a Toyota.

 

It is pretty straight for the most part. I bought it with a locked up motor got it to free up and while in the process of getting it over to my buddies and threw a rod threw the side bought a new motor last night and ready to put it in and drive it. Thank you for the welcoming

 

Hopefully we will have the engine out of it tomorrow.

 

Nice buy. The body looks almost rust free. Have fun.

 

It is for the most part. Has a few spot but it's not horrible

 

Figured I would upload some pics and a Video for you.

Two day engine swap. Done and Running.


Got it in the shop and ready to pull the engine.






Engine Out and ready to swap parts over from old to new.

Check out the Cracked block!!!!!

 

Swapping out the Harness from old block to new block. Also had to install the Alternator, intake bolts, and a few other various nuts and bolts.

Dropped it in and got it running.

 

Heres a video of it running.

Still need to hook up the exhaust and make a few minor adjustments. But overall it runs really well!.

 

Is that the timing cover that cracked or did it get into the block as well? Never seen anything like that. Great job getting it running so soon.

 

it through a rod threw the engine block and a bearing out the oil pan. if you looking in the picture of the crack up close that is the alternator to the right of it. but we have the new motor in and it runs like a champ

 

Just a quick update on my new 4runner. i have been driving it for about a week now runs great havent had very many problems with it. have it in the shop right now doing some minor check ups on it.

 

You waste no time and I like it. Where did your donor engine come from? Look forward to your build and welcome to the family.

 

I picked the motor up in Tecumseh nebraska from a friend of a friend
