I thought the 3.0 didn't come in the 4runners until sometime in 87?
It did. Pretty sure he has a 90. Edit: he does!
Yes that is me with the engine replacement. I have never taken this out. I bought it with the blown engine and all the parts on. I was told that it was 4.29s i havent pulled the diffs yet to see what they actually are. it is a manual trans with manual hubs and i am going to do a SBC swap for the engine and keep the stock trans
Well with a sbc, you wont need gearing to make up for HP. So heres the next thing to think about. If you choose axle gears you may have to ge gear your front twice. Iif you ever plan (and this may be opening up another can of worms) a solid axle swap, you wont be able to re use your front gears and would have to buy a matching set for the new axle.
First and foremost though, get your engine fixed.
