    Hey I’m new to the Tacoma community. Recently bought a red 1997 Tacoma. Anyone who’s patrolling this can you help me out. I’m saving up for an engine swap and I’m wondering what engine I can fit in there that’s the best for my buck. Thank you, I look forward to helping any of you out if I can.

    Welcome! I would switch it out with the same engine you have in it now. Is it the 2.7 or 3.4?
