I'm in flavor of the 2.7 3rz, easy to swap, good amount of power, very reliable. what else can you ask for
you can also run the w56 behind it easly with your duals, without anymore addapters needed
I voted other and my suggestion is a Mercedes OM617 5 cylinder diesel. 4x4 Labs has a cool conversion kit to use a GM tranny behind it. IMO it would probably be about the same $$$ as any of the other options listed.http://www.4x4labs.com/products/diesel-conversions/That or a 3.4 or 2.7. Can't go wrong with either one. I would avoid the VW.... IMO VW anything is crap. Cousin had several Jettas and even a diesel one and they all were nothing but problems.
shouldent be to bad
I did not vote, but here is what I have-91 pickup with a chevy 4.3L, 700r4, 4.88 gears and 37" tires- 15-18 mpg mixed driving-low end torque-stupid simple motor-expensive adapters92 4runner with a 3.4 swap, 4.10 gears, 5 speed, 235 tires- 19-22 mpg mixed driving-high end power( not much low end torque like the 4.3)-Direct swap for my vehicle at least-no adapters, but the wiring is fun
how much do you have into the engine swap and what trans you running?
I am aware I am going to spend money either way. I just dont want to spend the money and wish I would of went bigger. which is why I want to stay away from a 4cyl.any tips or tricks you suggest for the 4.3L?
Good to know, you run an AA toy case adaptor?I think having an Auto would be nice for the ease of DDing and wheeling. I can run a ratchet shifter if I want to control it more.I think I am going to run a Ford Tank, pump and sending unit... so the fuel delivery will be fine. as the carb wont work.the wiring is all that scares me.
I run the AA toy case adapter. I bought it used to save money and it is a very nice piece. I also used AA motor mounts also.As for the wiring, I bought a harness and computer that was reflashed from howell. It has labeled wires and it is plug and play harness. You can also buy a version to run a more modern electronic trans, 4l60e for ex, from them. Here is the website http://www.howellefi.com/customer/I run an external pump and filter, the old 22re pump is still in the tank. The pump is from napa and so is the filter
also when doing a 4.3 swap its alot easier if you buy the entire donor vehicle
whats the new output shaft from? or does the AA come with that shaft?
Crazy.So Astro/Safari Van, AA tcase adaptor, engine mounts, crossmember, electric fuel pump, inline filter.... what else..... saying everything in the van is kosher.
