engine swap

hey i have a 1994 toyota pickup 4x4 5 speed manuel with a 22re engine. the engine is about dead and i want to know what i have to do to put in a 3.0 v6.

 

Now this sounds painfull! OUch! heheh

 

Don't suppose you would rather sell your truck to me? I am looking for one of those trucks to put a 2L-TE Toyota turbodiesel in.

Are you wanting to put the 3.0 or the 3.4?

 

Don't swap it for a 3.slow, it's given that moniker for a reason. If you could get your hands on a 3.4L 5vz-fe, that would be sweet!

 

I have to agree with you there man, the 3.4's are bullet proof motors. Def try to get your hands on one.

 

Werent there issues with the head gasket with the 3.4L V6 during that period?

AFAIK, only the 3.slow had HG problems. I have a 3.4L and have no problems with over 123K miles. (knock on wood)

 

Actually, the head gasket problems were from the 3.0's specifically from 4runners. the 3.4's are newer. they've been tried and tested and proven very relyable.

 

rebuild the 22r with some good parts and it would be better than the 3.0 and the 3.4

 

The 22RE is an incredible engine. I have a friend with a 1st Gen 4Runner who has the 22RE. He has over 300K on the entire rig. The only major work he has done was rust repair and a clutch.

I found the 3.0L to be underpowered and inefficient. If I had your truck, I would run the 22RE until it died.

 

Agreed. I had 375,000 on one and it ran like new.

you would probly be better off putting a 3.4 liter v6 from a 4 runner or new tacoma. i know that the engine mounts for the 3.0 liter and the 3.4 are the same mounts, and alot of people have taken the 3.0 liter out from the pick up and put the 3.4 in.

 

I have just gotten of a 1991 totota sr5 pick up pre runner 4x4 with a v6 3.0 liter engine on it and still working on to remove the v6 3.0 engine but already bought a Used V6 3.4 liter engine but already notice some differences between the V6 3.0 engine installed and the V6 3.4 engine that I am planning to swap.The throttle body of the V6 3.0 is at the druver's side while the V6 3.4 is at the passenger side .Is there any otger way around it to continue the engine swap?

 

Is there any other kits needed to engine swap a 1991 V6 3.0 to a V6 3.4?Coz I notice d throttle location and exhaust manifold is different between them

 

Holy resurrected thread Batman! An eight year hiatus! Good luck with your swap macjan... I have nothing material to add here other than my already stated observation.

 

Yeah man.Sorry coz I am just new here just got d truck recently nd workin on it but aanother friend suggested on How I can be able to get around the camifornia emission requirement if I continue my swap from 3.0 to 3.4?

 

Another friend suggested How can I get around with california emission to pass smog
