    Good afternoon new member here from the Bahamas. Owned a1st gen now for 10 years chassis problems. Truck is a tacoma 2000 TRD that has a 4cyl 2.7 motor.
    Recently got another frame for that motor. Is a 1998 tacoma that has a 6 cyl motor is 4 wheel drive model with gear box. Figured out motor swap no problem. Question for anyone out there that's has experience with these trucks. Chance of putting that 4cyl motor on a gear box out of the 6 cyl. Is it any way possible????

    Your biggest problem is you would need ecm, the double twin coil packs, and engine harness for a 98 3rz trans specific..........

    Worst case is motor mounts maybe off an inch.......not a deal killer.....but may be a head scatcher......


    dont know of any one taking a coil-over plug engine head.....and converting to plug wires?????
