Also, question for you all. Does anyone have any opinions or advice on an engine swap in a 2nd gen?
I know someone who has a 1992 in perfect body, frame and interior condition (bought in Cali) but it has the dreaded 3.0 V6 head gasket problem and he's looking for advice. I think a 3.4 swap would be his best bet, but I have no clue who I would trust to do the work, how involved that would be, or what his best options is. He's ready to just dump it as is for $1500 |
I would also recommend the 3.4L swap. I haven't done it and haven't researched it much. Have you looked on Yotatech? I have some experience working on the 3.4L but not enough to be able to do a swap in a vehicle that didn't already have it. A friend of mine is pulling a 3.4L out of his 4Runner and I helped him work on it some. He said his is old engine spun bearings.
Tall corn cruiser classic is Aug. 25-27, even if you don't go offroading I would recommend showing up and socializing with other Toyota fanatics.
