1988 Rebuild/Restoration

['88_4runner]

Much thanks to the forum and all of it's members, tons of useful info. as well as replies to my (probably dumb/noob) questions have all got me this far on the runner. :bigok: I have taken out all that has to come out to pull the engine. And just picked up a 3.0 from a 90 pickup and from reading everyone seems to say you can drop it in and bolt it up but just looking at the motor mounts look different. :wow2:


So if anyone knows if it can be done and how suggestions would be great I have read some places to take the mounts off the motor in my truck and out them on the new block but I'm not to sure so any help would be great. Thanks again and here is some pics. :help:

First pic is the mounts on my motor in the truck and second of the mounts on the new motor.

Made lots of progress. Time to start ordering new parts. Few more pics.

Pulled the engine.

Lots of broken stuff lots of fun.

New block ordering new rods and pistons as well 2 or 3 of these were bent.

Sending of the heads and block to be checked for cracks and cleaned up a bit.
