    Has any one purchased a engine from Engineworld?

    Looking at two options for a gen 2 tacoma with a 4.0 LT 1GFRE.

    Rebuilt motor vs a used with less than 50k miles and the motor is from Japan.

    let me know if you have used these guys and how did they do.

    I don't know anything about that vendor but do be aware that Japan spec engines may differ from US spec engines and may or may not be direct fit.

    In the US there were 3 variants of the 4.0L 1GR-FE:

    The (03-04) 4Runner 4.0 that used different VVT sprockets & cam sensors.
    The 4.0 that we all know that came in the 05-15 Tacoma (the 05-11 and 12-15 have different cylinder heads), the 05-09 4Runner, & the 07-09 FJ Cruiser.
    The 4.0 dual VVT that came in the 10-23 4Runner & 10-14 FJ Cruiser.

    So do your research and make sure your getting the correct engine for your truck to save headaches and also use the wiring harnesses, sensors, & electronics original to the engine in your truck if at all possible to avoid any compatibility issues.
