I'd probably go with the cheaper option. You currently have an OEM upgrade going on with the V8 swap....I'd just go with an OEM style radiator.....jut my 2 cents..

What did you end up going with?

I ended up going with the Aluminum 3 row. I read that aluminum was more efficient then brass. It was the perfect size for the body, the outlets were oriented on the correct sides and it was fairly inexpensive.


I went ahead and ordered a cold air intake too. I haven't received anything yet.

Since nobody makes a kit for my application, I will be making my own.


Will post some more pics as it gets here.

Still Waiting for parts to come in. So I made my Front bumper relocation brackets.

My lift is officially done, with the exception of lifting the trailer hitch up.

I guess i went overboard on my bracket material. 1/4" plate but it was free.

It is what it is.







My bumper is mounted.

Looks good.

Dang that thing is riding tall!

At 5'7", I'd need a rocket up the wazoo to get in it.

But it looks good. I can't wait to see it being driven.

Got my radiator and installed it.



installed


Clearance?






Got my pusher fan installed

Looks awesome man!

Man, I'm so pumped to see what thats going to look like when everything is done. Sweet! I wish I had that kind of know-how. Unfortunately, trucks aren't my specialty (although I do love them) because I'm a musician... Looks great, keep up the good work.

That is one tight fit.

Do you need anything more before it's done done?

Stuff still needed.

Slim electric puller fan
Shorten Drive Shaft

Punch list to do.

Hook up e-brake
Install and hook up EVAP canister
Splice Low side AC line - V8 to 4runner evaporator

I saw where another V8 conversion (for a Tacoma though), the owner removed the AC condenser and moved the radiator forward a couple of inches.

Unfortunately, I need my AC so it is what it is.

Making my Air intake.

After the disappointment with the Ebay air intake, I forged on and decided to use it.

I could not fit the Sequoia Intake assemble in the stock location because it is just to big. The 4Runner Air cleaner assemble had the intake coming in at the wrong angle. Just not enough room to manipulate the intake hose from the engine to the housing.

I could have just stuck a filter on the end of the MAF sensor but that would look to ricey (as if my radiator wasn't ricey enough).

Anywho, This what i did.

I took the stock Sequoia Air filter box



And I cut the MAF mounting point out.



Cut and trimmed the MAF



Up Close



Used the crappy kit from Ebay





Attached it to the MAF



Installed into 4runner





So now my 2UZ-FE is getting cool air from outside.
