Does anyone know if there is a kit or something that I could buy, like all of the fabricated parts for installation. I want to swap the 3.0 from a blown 4Runner with a Chevy 5.7. I can weld I am a [censored] fabricater. Also... what is the 6-speed tranny in the t/a's and cameros? I am going manual on this one.

 

sorry, wrong section. please move

 

check here http://www.advanceadapters.com/newidea.html should have what you need

 

Truck engine bay = 4runner engine bay? I was looking at them a while back but was not sure. I think it is, last time I looked they appeared to be about the same.

PS

 

yep pretty much the same

 

Advanced Adaptors make the motor mounts, radiator, headers and everything else you need. The tranny is a T-56 six speed. It will take a lot of modding to get that tranny to fit in I bet. The T-56 swap is common in S-10s. I swaped one in to my S-10 Blazer and it was a BIG job.

 

What would be the most simple manual tranny to fit in? Like I said I'm not to good at this but want to get better, I just don't want to get over my head then give up... waist of money, rig, time, ect.

Thanks!
PS

 

Swap in TH-700R4. Its a auto tranny, but it will be a lot easier to swap in.

 

autos suck, put an SM465 behind it.

 

Simplest? Keep the trans you have.
Otherwise look to see what adapters they have. If it ain't listed, it won't be simple.

 

What year/generation 4Runner are you talking about? Because you are swapping out a 3.0, I'm assuming you have IFS (if it's 4WD). Is it 4WD though? If so, swapping a T56 would require finding a suitable GM transfer case and adapter since there aren't any for Toyota t-cases. The best manual tranny out there for the swap would be an NP4500 from a 1-ton Chevrolet truck: Granny low, overdrive and available adapters to Toyota transfer cases. Also, there isn't an all-inclusive "kit" avaiable out there, just a conglomeration of individual parts. This is because there are so many different variables in engine swaps and abilities. If you're a good welder, it is far easier & cheaper to fabricate your own motor mounts than to spend $120+ for off-the-shelf ones. Same applies to other custom items like crossmembers.
