Topic: 3.4 or 4.3

I was reading the swap info on offroadsolutions.com and according to them you can't use your 3.0 tranny with a 3.4 since the computers, shifters, and transfer cases are different.  There swap kit says to use a 3.4 tranny from a 4wd, and a gear driven T-case from an early truck

Sounds like some coin to do that swap right.

I like the idea of keeping it all Toyota but it sounds expensive if you need to buy a trans, T-case anyway

Toyota builds great motors at the Factory, but Joe Schmo at the rebuild shop doesn't neccessarily rebuild good Toyota motors.  Personally I will only use a motor that's either factory or built by me. 


And torque is king in a 4x4 truck not hp.  You could build a 500, 700, 1000hp small block chevy but that's not a good motor in a truck.  A stock Vortec injected motor is all you need either 4.3 or 5.7.

i havent done the research into the cost of a 3.4 swap,  but it would be worth it
but i know 20/22 hybrids can be made to of a modified 3.0,

the 7Mgte??   oh damn   how much money you got is the top of the power,   ive seen mags with supras running 800hp 7mgte's   and 1200hp  2jz's,   got $10,000 Swampy??   you could make that runner go the 1/4 in about 8 seconds

dang man, LCengineering has kits to make a 20/22 hybrid over 500hp, with T3/T4 hybrid turbo, stand alone fuelmanagement system and all,   nobody does this for the 3.0 because its a

If you gotta have all that HP you need a v8............. jus my

22R is great motor, but you can only squeez so much power out of one and keep it reliable and last more than a year. For the cost of getting that much power out of a 22R, or even the high HP supra swap you could swap in 3.4, 4.3, a stock 7m,or an 8 and have much better reliablilty and longevity. Unless you like working on your rig all the time.
