3.4 or 4.3

[SWAMPER]

Heres the breakdown my ol 3.0 went need new beating heart.....want it strong reliable and with good power what are the power= HP and TQ specs of the 3.4 and 4.3 what engine is more mod friendly AKA which one can I squezze more out of? What would you get and why?  Oh also I was leaning more toward the 3.4 cause I dont really feel like swapping tranny and t-case

3.4    its TOYOTA      and it comes in many tacos and 4runners with factory supercharger  what else could you want,  the 3.4 could make a 4.3 wet the bed

chevys are sooooooooo overrated

[MagPede]

I say the 3.4 b/c they both have similar HP and torque ratings but keeping it all toyota would be much simpler. Not to mention the 3.4 should be a good bit lighter.

Push rod motor with a counter ballance shaft or overhead cam with supercharger hmmm. Stay with a 3.4 and make your life easy.

[RUGER]

3.4

happy trails

If you cross your eyes it looks like 4.3

[reklund5]

.  You're right. 


I just meant stick with the Toyota engine!!!!!!

[FIREBALL]

If you can afford it.... 3.4. It costs more, but it's a great motor, and you really don't have to worry about mods, because both motors have lots more power than the 3.0. If the 3.4 is too pricey for you though, i'm very happy with how my 4.3 runs, and parts are a dime a dozen, because it's mostly chevy 350 parts.

[SWAMPER]

Thanks for all the input guys....Ill be looking into a 3.4 soon I want to get my truck up and running ASAP

[88runner]

get a factory service manual an d learn the wiring!

[SWAMPER]

Haha wish I had time really do but Ive been working a lot that I dont seem to have time for anything lately

[BLACKDOG]

3.4    And quit workin', dont you know it is hazardous to your health??

[SWAMPER]

Guys good news...haha the guys at Wicked were just playing with me haha (wonder what hurts more getting shot or stabed ) I do need a water pump though

[BLACKDOG]

try a taser to the faimly jewels, that looks pretty painful

Water pump isnt too bad though, at least it isnt worse

[SWAMPER]

Now where do I get the water pump from I dont want to buy one from Autozone and have it fail on me in a month

[BLACKDOG]

test out the dealer price.  sometimes you'll get surprsed.  Not often though unfortunately

[MikeToyota93]

3.4 and supercharge it!!! 

[Skinny_Pedal]

i saw this one coming a mile away. welcome back 3.slow!

[FIREBALL]

Factory yota pump, you don't want to have to tear back into it in 6 months.

[raybie]

i second that

[brainlessfool]

go for broke! how about a 2100cc vw motor? 

[Willy Mammoth]

go for broke! how about a 2100cc vw motor?

That would make one hell of a water pump.

[camo89]

my GRANDPA used a 41 hudson as a water pump it was for the whole damn far but it still worked awsome

Me 2... You are better off spending the Xtra  $$ Autozone,AdvanceAuto sell junk auto parts all there are good for is brand name stuff like motor oil & airfilters

[SWAMPER]

Well I dont know If Ill be fixing the water pump....I dont think you guys are 100% aware but 3.0 is still going to get scrapped sooner or later It isnt in good condition it has a bad valve, dead cyl, and other things....right now Im looking into what engine I should get....a 350 looks tentalizing

[Willy Mammoth]

That's more weight and power than you realy need. You wont have as much fun unless all you want to do is smoke your tire$ and waste ga$. The 3.4 will most likley cost as much as a 4.3 or 5.7, but you won't need to change the transmision or make as many modifacations to get it back on the road.

Just some common 

[Skinny_Pedal]

no willy those are words of wisdom

[freds40]

if you have a manual, run the 4.3 with an adapter to your trans. I would think the cost of te motor even with the adapter would be cheaper than the 3.4.

[FATB0Y]

Repete after me..............   Willy is wise
