Yep..the dead horse is back..go on beat him. I haven't posted in 6 months! Now I am back at the torch again...I have a 97 Taco..with a 2.7 in it. Its 4WD 5 spd...And I want the 5vz 3.4 in it. Bellhousing the same? Motor mounts? How bout tranny crossmember? The exhaust fairly easy to fab? I know I don't "technically" need the harness and ECU, but it makes it easier! I wonder if I can find the thread where I swapped in a 3. slow in place of my 22re? Yes thats what I did...just cuz I could do it. Anyway I guess thats my only question..motor mounts good? Bellhousing?

 

If I could buy a 3.4 equipped Tacoma for 2 grand don't ya think I would do that? Besides I am up to the challenge.

 

well.. you'd need everything under the hood and the tranny i believe. complete engine wiring harness and ecu. you cant' run a 6 cylinder motor with an ecu that was made for 4 cylinders. I got my complete 3.4 swap for 1500 so... look around at wrecking yards i'm sure you'll find something.

 

So the tranny isn't compatible with the 2.7 tranny? I know I need the ECU for the 6, it just doesn't matter if ya have an auto tranny ecu or manual..I just pin the correct wires to fool it..got that under control.

 

i dont' know for sure but i believe they are different.

 

As far as I know you will need the engine, harness computer all the sensors and well everything under the hood and the transmission. Cause they don't match. So for all that work I would go bigger or buy a different taco. (there are some good deals out there, yes for 2 grand)
