i was wondering wat motor to put in my new projusect ruck its a 91 excab toyota its going to get a marlin SAS swap here soon but the motor is bad and i'm not shure wat to put in it

[brainlessfool]

if your going to do a swap mite as well do the 2.7, other wise just run the 22RE.

[Plowking]

Do your self a favor stay away from the 3.0 (3VZE) I put one in and nothing but headaches, and alot of cash. If you are gonna burn some cash the 3.4 is the way to go. I know locally they are reasonably chep 500 to 1200 . Lots of options and kits to make it work. Depends on your budget.

2.7 

[furrballs95 [OP]]

my one buddy found out that the ax15 i think it is is the same tranny thats in his 90 yj and its the same in my 91 project and that all i would need to do is get the bell housing of a jeep 5spd and it will bolt to my tany and i could bolt up a 4.0 or build a 4.7 stroker wich i would really love to do so i'm really thinkin about putting a jeep motor. he built a 4.7 stroker and it is so sweet

well here is another thing i was thinkin about fdoing i have a 22r and my buddy has one tot hey both run great and iw as think of just building a nasty 22r. now i know that if you put the 20r head and and a bunch of other in it then you can make a pretty sweet motor but i ju st want something with alot of power but i dont want to put a v8 in it and i heard that the 4.0 i was too big for the toyota engine bay.  so if any have some sugestions let me kno thnx

I              my 3.4

[furrballs95 [OP]]

do any of you guys know if the 3.4 will bolt up to my v6 trany out of my 91 and how much will i lookin at on spending on one.

[KWP]

  The v6 tranny you have now is a direct bolt on to the 3.4, don't really know about the engine prices though.

[Mac5005]

Well the 3.4 will bolt to your tranny, but you are going to have to cut a hole in the hood, b/c the intake plenum on the 3.4 is about 3" taller than that of the 3.0........sooooo in my opinion, i would rather cut a 6" wide piece of the firewall out, move it back 1.5"s, put it back together,drop in the 4.0L or the 4.7L  and no damage done to the exterior..., or if you take the bed off like you want to do, just mount the radiator and electric fan behind the cab, which will give you that lost clearance, and will also keep the radiator clear of limbs, and getting packed full of mud, and/or snow...ill call you tues night furrballs

the 3.0 should not even be discussed here.

what he said.

Since the truck was originally a 3.0, I'd definitely go 5VZ (3.4L).  The tranny and engine mounts match up.  You can actually trim the hood bracing, and fit the engine, but hood scoops look cool anyway.  I'd expect to pay $2000-$3000 to get the computer, harness, accessories, afm?, and other under-hood goodies (what's a coil pack?.. etc).  Check out the writeup at http://www.offroadsolutions.com.  I think it's under tech articles.  Also, there are multiple options to compress air for the 3.4, mainly the trd supercharger and the sts turbo kit.

A Jeep 4.0L will fit in a Yota.

i really am not lookin into doing all of that work i want to keep my toyota SAS that guy put alot of time and money into that thing but it really sweet if i had the time i would do it but i dont

[BigMike]

I would say to go with the 3.4 since most everything will bolt right up to it. Same tranny, same engine mounts

[Stinky]

that toy on jeepin has the hep front clip so that he would have room for everything w/ out cutting the truck up...yet he cut the WHOLE damn front clip off.....stupd ppl..yet it IS pretty damn cool....the hell w/ that put a honda motor in it n call it quits...there BILLIONS UPON BILLIONS of things for honda motors...plus vtec sounds sick.....or be cool, keep it toyota, and build a 22re...it takes some expertice n know-how of motors to do...but a 22re revving to 6000 and PULLING at 6000...in my perspective is pretty damn sick...BYE

[yotaboy79]

or build a 20/22r hybrid running on propane thats what im starting to think about instead of dealing with the wiring of swaping an efi motor in
