That is the engine that sits in it now. So I thought why not swap in another?
Now I just hope I can do the work!

This will be slow going. I have never done most of the work required...

Depends on which V6. Mine is a replacement for a 5VZ that is already in and was done before I bought it.

YES! I want the engine bay to look a bit better. I am not promising Home Depot will disappear all together, but this time around I want it daily driveable, trackable, and fun. Last time it was choose two!

Looks to be a pretty good deal! Considering its a Toyota!

Dance_Business · 08-19-2009, 02:17 AM

I unloaded it from the trailer tonight.
To keep in the spirit of my ghetto fab car, the unloading was definitely "engineered." I used a ratchet strap to pull it to the edge, then pushed it off by hand, with no help!
I just let it roll into the parking lot! Had video, too; it was deleted by accident.

Bring on the weekend!

Nice.

Do you have an adjustable ecu in your setup? Could it be poor tuning that killed the 1st engine?

Good luck and happy swapping

I was running the stock 98 4runner ecu. A lost oil line killed the engine. no oil = seized engine...
