i was thinking about upgrading my 3.0L engine in my 1994 4runner to the 3.4L..... has anyone on here done this? what complications are there? will the stock transmission fit? is the gas mileage any better/worse? any other input would be great

 

never been done. sorry

 

SEARCH!!!!!

There is a WHOLE forum about this.

Engine swap talk.

 

im pretty sure that all you have to do is just put in the new engine and start. everything should plug in and bolt right up.

 

Whats a 3.4L? never heard of it

Whats a search button?

 

haha wow sorry i didnt notice there was an entire forum just for the 3.4!

 

I thought we used gallons in america?

And do you mean the google search button?

 

Who is google? is that like a new mod I should do to my Toyota?




SEARCH B4 POSTING NEWB!

 

It sure is easy to poke fun.

wow yeah there is a bunch of info on that swap!
you can pretty much see exactly how to do it. lol that is extremely helpful
i just need to find where to get a good used engine for a decent price....

 

search craigslist.

I found mine for $800 from a rolled tacoma.

 

Moved to Engine Swap Talk in the 3.4L.

Do a search on this swap in this forum specifically and I bet all your answers and then some will be answered.

I enjoyed elvolta's swap as well as mt.goat's write ups.

 

Neoworm and Breknraj also have excellent info in theirs, then there's mine, but really the only special info there is to make sure you have your headers if you're planning to go that route, and to drill a pilot hole through your hinge to hood connection. If you like the alignment of your hood currently, that is. Most of all, have fun man!

And for a really clean install there is Cadman. There are also articles on pirate and many other sites. Here are some links that may come in handy. Some were mentioned above.
