Yotatech has a whole section on 3.4 swaps.

YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE
AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU HAVE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

Should not be that hard, just like a 2nd gen. If you can shoehorn a 350 in a first gen a 3.4 will. Just buy a doner rig and use the whole wiring harness.

There's a guy selling an 88 4Runner in central Illinois...he's done a good 3.4 swap and only wants $2500 for the truck...he's asking $5600 obo for everything, but that includes a straight front axle and a ton of parts.
