If you had to get the heads completely rebuilt meaning: seals, surface, lap or angle valve job and labor and parts altogether I don't think your looking at over $400-500 range and I might be way over on that estimate.

LOL....yeah I feel ya there, I would probably do the same thing if that was the case as far as the 2 cracked heads;):

Some good info there:thumb3: I just threw the 5.3 4L60E out there. I would actually look at the LQ4 6.0 with the 4L80E in the end. Don't get me wrong the T56 is a kick @** tranny though. I've just sold my Mustang and it ran low 11's on a 100HP shot of NOS and I built it from the ground up so I'm...

I'm taking a 2WD not 4WD, as far as the rear end I mean heck I can put a different type of rear end in it if the factory one is weak. I know an 8.8 Ford rear end might be a close fit but I would have to measure to make sure. But even if an 8.8 is to long, cut it down and order axles from Moser...

Have you ever calculated an ls3 or ls6 in a Vette with over drive? cause the get real close to 26-30mpg.

I have a few more things to input here, some I have already posted on the last page but here it goes again. Step one, have them pull heads and inspect... Step two, if heads need freshened up then do so... I would highly recommend valve seals, RE SURFACE THE HEADS NO MATTER WHAT. Check the...

Whats the difference between the Grey SC and the Black SC?

No even though I'm new to the Toyota scene I have been around the race scene for a long time and if you have them rebuilt then you will be just fine. No need to buy new heads, I would have the heads surfaced, have a angle valve job done, check the guides and have new valve stem seals installed...

I would think the only reason for another injector would be to offset for more boost if you were to upgrade a pulley or an aggressive tune etc... yeah the pinging would be detonation under WOT due to running lean. There is a guy here in Houston who is selling a 4Runner with a SC that was added...

I've heard pro's and con's about the SC, like 7th injector, fuel upgrade and something about the trans needing to be beefed up? I am new to the whole Toyota scene but I know it's gonna be awful hard to beat 24-26 mpg with an LS. But trying to learn the little tips and tricks of gaining the most...

First off let me say I understand where you are coming from as far as wanting American motor in a 4Runner. Few things I have thought about though, for one it would probably be the same if not a lil cheaper to put a 5.3/4L60E than to get the motor and tranny rebuilt when it comes time for that...

Can't seem to find a whole lot of info on this subject, maybe its just me lol. I thought about doing a conversion on a 99 4Runner2wd, 5.3/4l60E. Now I know a driveshaft, exhaust and computer and harness for the LS would be a start but what about the fuel pump and any other electronics, brakes...
