    Hey Guys
    I just picked up a JDM Japanese 3.4l replacement motor for my 2001 Tacoma.

    Has anyone put one of these in yet. It appears I must switch over intake and exhaust manifolds and oil pan.
    My concern is the sump part of the oil pan. The sump part of mine faces the front of the engine the Japanese engine the sump faces the rear. I would assume I would just need to swap the pick up tube and oil pan from mine. I am not sure if it is that simple, so before I start taking it appart I am asking if anyone may have done this kind of engine swap and run into this

    Too many trucks and mods to list.. check builds
    Should be just swap over parts from your engine into the new one. The blocks and heads never were different, just accessories

    FYI you can sell that rear sump oil pan to some one doing an SAS, or save it for when you do one
