Sorry to hear that.
Have you sourced an engine?
You should talk to CoB. He's pretty good at finding engines.

Quick, everyone boost my confidence and tell me to do a V8 swap.

I have told you already to do such. 2UZ in your future. Now go do it.
Sure, why not.
LS9 with a TR6060 trans. Custom adapter to an Atlas T-case. Full-floating rear axle. Either a custom IFS front end, or SFA swap.
I look forward to seeing the progress.

Funny Picture:
The Information I've acquired on what a 2UZ Swap would require:
2000-2004 2UZ-FE
2000-2002 ecm and wiring harness
Aluminum Radiator
Custom Radiator hoses
w58 adaptor complete package
Clutch kit from a 1993 4Runner
Lengthen and Shorten Driveshafts
Custom Engine Mounts
Custom Transmission Mounts
2” Body Lift
Keep in mind:
“I am 99.9% sure that I will end up making engine mounts, both the ones that bolt to the block, and the ones that are welded to the frame. I plan to reuse the factory rubber isolator from my Tacoma to go between the two mounts much like Smithers did in his thread linked above. I plan to sit the engine in as low as I can.
The engine's oil pan will fit nicely around the crossmember and front IFS axle. That will pretty much dictate where the engine will sit in the engine bay. I dont think I will need a body lift to clear the hood, if so, I will work with it.
I plan to run the Tundra power steering set up, but have not researched yet if the lines from the pump to rack are the same or not, or if the Tundra lines will work for me or not.
I know that I will have to have AC lines made, but im not sure yet on the specs.”
“Since My Tacoma has a 4 cyl, the tach WILL WORK. The v6 tach wont work, it will be off by 30% or so. I plan to keep my Tacoma as "stock looking" as I can, so I will be keeping my cluster. Plus it has the correct miles on it, and mine is kinda custom.” (Put a tach in from a 4 cylinder into current gauge cluster)

What the hell is going on down there. I've been gone just over a month and you're blowing holes in engine blocks? Nonsense.
This gets my vote for the swap :heh:

Hey Kraze. CCOR went back to Bronco's Peak this last weekend. What a carnage filled day. 4 rigs - A jeep twisted off the front U-Joint. FJ Mike blew the A-Trac on all four wheels and BobbiNeloson not only blew the A-Trac out in the front but also snapped his rear ChroMolly axle shaft. 3 out of the four rigs had to be winched most of the way to the top. FJ Mike also remolded both sides of his door via outcropping rocks.

Alright, well the 4Runner is still sitting in a shop awaiting a heart transplant. Mean while, I'm on a visit to the great white north.
Currently I'm in Alberta.
[MENTION=63060]rickashay[/MENTION] can you name where in Alberta I am?

New Motor....
I bought a motor from the junkyard, and had it put in after a fair amount of refurbishing... I ended up replacing....
Timing Belt and Water Pump
The Clutch (with the Master and Slave Cylinders)
Gaskets: Valve Cover, Oil Cooler Seals/ Gasket, and Rear Main
All 6 Injectors (the one on cylinder number 6 had to be replaced twice)
New A/C Compressor (plus the receiver drier and expansion valve) - Can't make it through a South Texas summer with out this option...
New Belts, Hoses, Spark Plugs, and Coil Packs (because I'm no dummy)...
Grand Total on Parts... $1,607.48... I only paid $725 for the motor (delivered), it came from a 1999 4Runner Highlander Edition that did a rollover trick for its last owner, it only had 98,000 original miles... What a waste... we won't talk about how much I paid my master tech to put the motor in....

So no 2UZ then? At this point any motor will suffice I would think.
Got any more Alberta pics? I know its no Matterhorn.....

Hey, that's funny. I had a 22RE with the exact same problem.
I fixed it by chopping the truck up and selling it piece by piece.
