I found a Tundra V8 for sale on ebay, will that fit in my 88' 4runner? That might be one way to get more power out of my truck.

Anything will fit with a hammer and/or welder.
There will need to be some major modifications. You would also need the tranny from a tundra.
I think I saw a 1st gen with a V8 here. But I can't find it now.

Here is the link to the engine on ebay.
link to my next engine
I would really like to do something like that. I plan to keep my 88' for a while, but would like ot have more traveling power and towing power. An if I am going to get crummy milage anyway, might as well have thte power to go with it.
I can't afford to do the swap now, but if another engine comes up with this price, it would be nice to know that I could.
I will prolly truy to go with a TRD prerunner when I actually get ready to do the swap. It seems like it would be easier. But I like to keep my options open. link to my next engine

That is a STEAL!!! Reserve met at $500? Hope you live near Lubbock TX. Shipping will be a pretty penny. I wonder what the tranny reserve is? It's at 202.50 now. I was quoted $1500 for a Tundra motor only that was incomplete.

I can't remember where I read that, but it is true that V8 Tundra's have 5 speed manual transmissions outside the US. Something like the 5 speed that came with the 22RET engine, which was the R151. I "think" the one behind the V8 Tundra is the H151, but can't swear by it.
