Topic: found these for 5vz-3vz swap, will they work

[GJToy]

In the junkyard today and found two 4runners.  A 99 recent rollover in very good shape but an automatic.  (My 3vz is a 93 5-spd.)  Another truck nearby was a 98 5spd but the engine had the intake removed and was a bathtub.  Can I use the 99 engine along with the 98 ECU and harness to put together a swap package?

Thanks

sounds like a good idea to me

That's good to know.  I thought that during my searches here that I read about some kind of incompatibility between 98 and older with 99 and newer ECUs.

Thanks
