Does it have a body lift?  If not, how did you get the engine to fit under the hood without cutting a hole in the hood?  I have an '89 that I will be swapping a 5vz-fe into eventually.  Good luck with the sale.

No A/C and custom frame mounts allowed me to put the engine low enough to not use a body lift or cut a hole in the hood.

Looks like a clean swap.  What makes it "not 4wd"? ...just need a front drive shaft or something?

Took out the front diff to make the engine lower and the transfer case is on the wrong side. Would have to do a straight axle swap to make it 4wd again.

4runner is sold. Yeah wouldn't recommend dealing with CARB at least not in my area. BAR inspector told me the computer was the wrong part number. After a couple trips a finally figured out he was looking for a new part number not the OE part number for a 95 t100.
