has anyone swapped the toyota 4.7 v8 into our year trucks?
im just bored and thought i would ask

 

no but i was thinking about doing it. it that could be really fun!

 

i like the idea of the aluminum block

 

4.7 is steel block isn't it? 4.0 is aluminum.

 

idk but either way it would still be fun with both motors

 

ya your right i was thinking of the new 5.7

 

The 4.0 would be the better choice of the 3.

 

yes quite a few people have swaped the 4.7 into 2nd and 3rd gen 4runners. But a more common swap is the 1uz-fe. Its a 4.0L V8 Alloy block and cast aluminum internals. It doesnt produce as much torque but a little bit of forced induction will fix that right up.
Oh and by the way, the 4.7 is a cast iron block and the 4.0 V6 or 1gr-fe is aluminum alloy with a 1mm layer of iron surrounding every cylinder. all with cast aluminum internals. check out UZSWAP.COM

 

reviving thread instead of making a new one,has anybody performed this swap successfully yet in a 84-89 4runner?

 

I'm thinking about doing it. I have the complete motor. Anyone done it, have any pointers?

 

There is a guy in i think santa monica ca that did that swap in a 87-88 first gen 4runner, I have the offroad issue if your still interested.

 

^Yes please. please PM me how we can work this out?

 

I need to scan it onto a my computer, I'll post it as soon as can.

 

Hey, my buddy just totaled his tundra with the 4.7L but the motors good.

I'm thinking of putting it in to my 94 4x4, single cab, short box. has anyone attempted this swap yet?

 

^ yes, here's the thread.

4.7s RIPPPPPPPPPP

 

Looking to see if anyone has ever swapped the 4.7 out of a 4Runner 07 into a 95 runner with the 3.0

 

Spaldings in spokane sells 4.7 2uz's for $3-500 all day. way cheap than anything else to replace. 1uz would theoretically be better for weight and power output but are getting had to find with less than 300k
