.... I know many people that have swapped 4.3s. In my opinion the power is nice but it ruins a Toyota. A 3rz is the way to go.


Omitting any county, state, and Federal EPA and emissions regulations regarding engine swaps.....

I understand the brand loyalty thing and the sin of adulterating the Toyota badge, however, considering the list of pros and cons when looking at any swap for the most common objective - more power - by most 4x4 off-road enthusiasts, there are some definite advantages to a well designed Chevy 4.3 swap over any Toyota engine.
