Yeah i know a guy with a 3.4 in a first gen 4runner. Totally smog legal. As long as the motor is newer than the frame and you can do it with no error codes you should be fine. Worst case you take it to a smog referee and get it smoked there

Posting a big one. This guy is the best. I've since become good friends with him, he's the only guy allowed to touch my 4Runner. Also the shop I did my 4WD conversion/5 speed swap.

Owner, John, drives nothing but Toyota pickups. Does incredible work, one of his rides is a 1985 solid axle pickup, 22RE Turbo swap and 5-speed swap. Can do 3RZ and 5VZ work with his eyes closed. No problem can get past him.

I'll even meet you there if you want, I've been known to turn a few wrenches there. I've recommended many T4R members there before, all left completely satisfied, the last being FrankM23 (all the way from Burbank!) for his 3RZ valve adjustment.

there is a shop in burbank called offroad unlimited.
Off Road Unlimited
300 N. Victory Blvd.
Burbank, Ca. 91504

Retail Store Phone: 818-848-2020 | Fax: 818-729-1919

Ive never bought anything from the store but there is a guy named Kenny that works there that rebuilds shocks out of his home garage on the side.
I was told about him from a landcruiser shop that uses him to do all their rebuilds.
He rebuilt my icon coilovers for 110 less than icon wanted to do it for.
He knows his shi*. Just call the shop and ask for kenny.
You can tell him that Zach with the 4runner sent you, ive sent him a couple people already and he has given everyone really good deals.
