    Quick question for @SpikerEng this is a 98-00 Tacoma and I'll be doing a 01-04 front end swap, and of course I want to put your struts on it :D which would I get I'm assuming the fender skirts are the same and they're different because of the hoods? Thanks :thumbsup:

    Too many trucks and mods to list.. check builds
    if i can find a 3.4 at the junkyard i'll grab the tensioner im missing on my spare engine.. that way i'll be able to at least install the cams with the belt and see where the cams sit. i imagine with the stock pulleys lined up it should be the same.. i dont see why the 3vz timing would be different.

    if you have the means to remove the crank pulley at the yard grab the lower timing gear too.. i didnt get that. that would make all your timing components correct at least. i do not know if the 3vz belt will fit.

    the crank bolt is the bitch. usually the pulley will slide right off.

    the tensioner i was talking about is the pulley and bracket that the tensioner pushes on.. the one on my spare motor is cracked. how i dont know. but its unuseable lol

    We're gonna figure this out, push max power out of this bugger. It'll be the next 2jz in a v6 format... Maybe lol

    Lol it'll be a close one then, the more I think about all of this the more I'm thinking we're gonna need a standalone, of course to push max power, but also just to get it working at all..

    Well as of now as long as stoplights don't get to close to each other I only need to pass emissions once when buying. But I hope for that too, it's be much cheaper and easier
