    Hello folks..
    Im near Reno Nevada and my daughter needs a engine for her 02 Tacoma.. Preferably a 5vzfe.
    Hers is tired with about 230,000. Cylinder #4 is gone and #3 is almost gone.just looking for suggestions to where I can get a good long block or complete engine.
    Any help would be appreciated.. She is a full time college student and works full time too.. I will be doing the engine swap for her, so we are looking for the best bang for the buck. Thanks in advance.

    I had a local shop replace my daughters 5vzfe and they obtained a long block from Jaspers - It's been 1-2 years and we have had no problems with the motor.
