5VZFE In 94 runner

[mitaylor137]

I was wondering if and how hard it would be to fit a 5vzfe in my 94? I have the 3.0 but want a little more power.

What is the 5VZFE, is it the 3.4 Lt petrol V6?

It's been done before but I don't have a clue about how much trouble it would be. I would do lots of research first.

Alright, so i did some wheeling and my 3.0 is not nearly enough. I only have 31's and 4Low had trouble climbing a small rock pile. I want to maybe put a large six or small 8 in it. Any suggestions?

ok, I found a 4.0l Landcruiser motor on usenginesinc for 1,995. What do you think about this one? Will it be enough motor for serious wheeling?

Why not look at a Ford 5.0 L injected or a small block Chev?
Are conversions kits for these available over there?

I think that if you are going to the effort of fitting a V8 to a vehicle that never had one then why not pick a local, common V8 that will be easy to source parts for and easy to warm up if you desire, cam, inlet, stroking, etc.

Thats not a bad idea. I will prob get better fuel mileage too. Small blocks are a dime a dozen over here so it would be easier to get parts and cheaper. Ive got a junk yard that charges a dollar a Cubic inch. Thanks for the input.

Heres a Ford 5.0 we prepared earlier, well I had nothing to do with it but it's a sweet motor and a sweet fit too

I put a 3.4L in my '94. Alot of work and alot of time, but well worth it IMO. Didn't have to change a single head gasket on the 3.4! That was not the case with the 3.0. If you're just changing the motor it might be simpler than my ordeal. I also changed it from an automatic to a manual at the same time.
