Hey guys i just got myself a 95 4runner with a 3.0 and i wanna do a swap with a 4.0 out of a newer yota and im trying to figure out wat all i need and is it a pretty difficult im not worried bout money or time just wanna kno what imma need and difficulty level and if anyone knows of any better engines to swap with let me kno eventually it will be an off road only yota soo thank you in advance

 

Search. If ya have to ask, you're probably in over you're head. only kidding.

If you're talking about the 1gr-fe, I think it is a very difficult swap, probably including most of the instrument cluster, etc. You will more than likely need an entire donor for the swap.

 

Pretty sure the motor is way to tall to put under the hood of the older 4runners. Not like the 3.4 tall, but taller. 3.4 is probably your best option for swap

 

Ok im just trying to swap in a toyota engine with more power then mine someone told me a 350 chevy small block but i want to keep it all toyota well mostly toyota

 

5vze 3.4L v6. much easier, and if you search, you will find loads of info.

 

Now with the 3.4 imma have to swap computers and stuff but am i ginna have to get special attachments or should it fit in with new mounts

 

SEARCH!!! there is an entire section devoted to this topic and motor swap. If your asking these simple questions sure any swap is gonna be a nightmare for you. should just buy a rig with what you want and save yourself this job that might just be to much for you

 

I can handle an engine swap ive done a few i think i can handle it and im not worried bout the money either and a 95 4runner is the exact body style i want and i have been searching i cant find anything on a 95 yota soo thank you for ur very helpful advice

 

Check out this section: www.yotatech.com/f160
Tons of info there. Also maybe google Andrew Zook, I think and check out the information on Offroad Solutions. Even though they're out of business, they have a pretty good FAQ and a list of parts reused from the 3.0 and what you'll need from donor vehicles.

The information is out there, a few people are good with the wiring and will do a conversion harness if you ask nice enough/pay enough, and there's at least Toy Only Swaps for companies doing the swap. They prefer to have the vehicle there, but they told me they can do conversion or standalone harnesses if needed.
