Expect to dish out close to $1500 for an older 3RZ conversion (95-96 from a T100) or upwards to $2500 for a completed conversion if you use a brand new 8k mile 2004 3RZ engine from a Tacoma.
I got my swap done for about $1000 and I couldn't be happier.
- 1995 T100 5spd 3RZ-FE with ECU, wiring harness, clutch and flywheel
- 1985-1988 W56 Transmission
- 1995-2005 W59 Bellhousing
- Relengthen drivelines (applied to me)
- Build an Exhaust system
- $70 wiring book from Toyota
- misc $ for wires, soder, and heat shrink, fuel lines, hose clamps, air filter, etc.
- upgraded radiator (applied to me)
- bought an efi fuel tank with fuel pump (applied to me)
- $45 to get it Smogged at a certified CA Referee station (applied to me)
That would be the majority of the things I had to do, got it all done for under $1k I am sure. Check my thread, any conversion will take lots of time and commitment, they are not a walk in the park.

Smogged far below the average, gets excellent gas mileage (avgs. about 20mpg between city and highway), modern EFI OBD-II system allows for simple and accurate diagnostics, more reliable designed components and engine; upgrading to a much newer engine (my engine is 14 years newer than my truck) offers tons of advantages.
But again, engine swaps are no walk in the park.
