    Bilstein 5100’s with ome 881 coils on lowest setting, JBA upper control arms, LCE header, 31x10.5x15 falken wildpeaks.
    So my 98 Tacoma 2.7L needs a new motor very soon. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to get a new one or a good reman? Please let me know.

    3rz to 2Rz bebuilt block and new heads
    You'll have to be careful and ask a bunch of questions.....
    ......a lot of places that rebuild these are 6 to 12mos out on orders.....

    Generally the higher level of builder has more availability.....like 6 mos...

    the lower end ones seem to be swamped....like 12mo or never....

    you'll find plenty of 3rz's ......they were in a alot of different toyota base models....

    On our classified here.....sometimes a crate motor pops up....
    never hurts to post a WTB in there....

    ON facebook in my town....a brandnew crate 2rz block is listed...
    so there is no shortage.....just have to find the 'One'......

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    If you have a Good local Auto Machine Shop.

    Have it built local unless by new engine you mean used.

    Car-Part.com and buy as local as possible.

    Read the fine print of any warranties !! So many need the engine installed by professional shop to honor any engine warranty.
