Motor Swap?
« on: Apr 17, 2005, 08:42:48 PM »
How easy/difficult would it be to put Toyota's 3.4 v6 in a 1983 four-banger truck? I have 5.29 gears with 15 inches of lift and 40 inch high ground hawg tires. I am looking for a bigger motor and I was wondering what would be the easiest swap. I am trying toi stick to a toyota motor instead an American v8. So what would be a good motor upgrade? All-aluminum block lexus v8? 3.4L toyota v6? Straight 6 supra motor(Turbo or non-turbo?)? 4.7L tundra v8? Any ideas and help would be great!
Thanks,
Pete Kupfer

of the one's you named, I think the ezest would be the supar I-6, butt it will eat your trans.

I like the idea of the 3.4, butt man that would be some work.

Downy makes a 4.3 chev V-6 swap kit.  :dunno:

your you could do like mikey and put the taco motor in! that would be sweet!

Damn bro, the fact that you are asking for the easiest of those is already a bad sign...none are cake.  Easy swap is the 4.3 v6 or upgrade to an LC Engineering engine for bout 30--40 more ponies.  The Supra motor prob has the most swap support of those named...the aluminum lexus v8 would be super pimp...

I think BF is right though...   :_oops:   Big MIke to aisle 5, Big Mike to aisle five for cleanup...
