Motor swap...1st gen v6 for a 1st gen 2.7 4L plus cash?

if any of yall know anybody willing to sell or trade a 1st gen v6 for a 1st gen 2.7 4L with some extra cash on top.

 

if you dontt have luck finding one, I would recommend looking on https://www.car-part.com/

 

So you want to put a v6 in your I4 truck?

 

yeah figured might as well have fun with it will its still in one piece

 

That’s actually quite a bit of work. Just sell your truck and buy a v6 truck.

You're gonna need to re-weld engine perches, re-run the engine harness, body harness, and dash harness, you’ll need a new computer, you’ll need to reroute air conditioning lines...

Not worth it.

 

good point but its more of a project truck.

 

It’s probably best to find a rusted out truck with a v6 and use it as a donor truck. You’ll need quite a few items to be frank

 

yeah I agree definetly gonna take some time but hopefully when its all said and done it should be fun.

 

I mean if you’re going through the trouble of doing an engine swap, why put the Tacoma v6 in? Put in like an LS or something.

Or you can just turbo your four cylinder. That’s way easier.

 

I second going boost over transplant, because it's much easier to do. I would go for a "complete kit" including PCM remapping over trying to piece together a kit.

 

alright thanks for the advice kinda new to the whole building up a truck thing.

 

Oh boy... get ready for a wild ride on this website!
