Not sure, ...you gonna bid? Cuz that aint "BUY NOW", lol. Man, I was just reading a thread, it's in the "NEW THREADS" section under, "What would you pay for a 3.4?"
Best wishes on the hunt. Gotta have the ECU, harness, alternator, PS, Bell housing, ...... I don't know, as I said, but reading that other thread, it sounded like there are "GUYZ" out there that offer the ENTIRE kit for the swap into a 3.veezee for a price. I'd say one thing, Brian, .....TAKE YOUR TIME, unless you find a rolled 2002 with 30K or something, ....ya know? And, even then, gotta be sure nothing REALLY bad happened to it before that, etc. You can't find one at a yard that you mention all the time? I'd love to do this, ...but into a 22re I think it's even more extensive and, well, the MONEY! LOL. Can't remember what mileage they get. Curious on that, too. I was actually weighing the 1UZ swap, not long ago, that RMA does. I mean, .....2200$ or so, plus motor? Hmmm, lol. ME LIKES V8's, hahaha.

meh, it's complete, that's for sure. but i wouldn't get it unless a) it didn't come with the tranny, and b) it had the cross-over pipe in the back (or are you going to do something crazy-awesome with the exhaust?). but like mark said, it isn't buy-it-now, so i dunno...

I used to hate all the 4Runners aside from 1st gens but to be completely honest I really REALLY fell in love with the 2nd gens and even the third gens i like now too!not speaking from personal experience here, but a few of my buddies that have done engine swaps say that it is soo much better to buy the entire donor vehicle, that way you get the same computer and harness and stuff. plus, you can part the rest of it out for probably half the price of the engine. just my $.02

Quick question for you guys, i can't get a straight answer. Some people say for the 3.0 -->3.4 swap you need a body lift, others say you don't, some say you need a 1" and others say a 2" so what is it? Do i need a body lift or not? If i do, then you can pretty much forget about the swap as i am 100% against body lifts.
I'll keep searching...
