Engine swap Question..does L6 engine fit into 1990 Hilux/4runner

[hjalti_gto]

Has somen swaped a inline 6cyl engine into 1990 Hilux/4runner ?
Will it fit?
I can have a inline 6cyl nissan patrol 2.8 TDI engine for good price.
I think it is a good engineswap to get rid of the thursty v6.

Go at it with a tape measure. Thats not a common motor for us here in the states. But in the past, when people put inline 6s in, there is usually some fire wall "adjusting" that has to be done. Or run your radiator some where else.

I got the engine today.. looks good.

No wonder your v6 is thirsty... What are those tires? Like 500 pounds each?

about 110 pounds each tire+wheel
I get about 12 MPG on them.

I also got a stock auto 4runner daily driver.. it gets the same MPG.. soo..

Sick. This is going to be a fun project. You should get some 44s for your trailers.

Yeah it will be a fun project.
I got i Snowmobile trailer on 35"s.



Some measurements i did

Engine
bellhousing -> front of the timebelt cover 70 cm / 27.6 in
bellhousing -> front of the Engine Dampers / Pulleys 75 cm / 29.5 in
bellhousing -> front of the fan 82 cm / 32.3 in

Truck
Firewall -> "Radiator support " 84 cm / 33.1 in

I think i need to delete the stock fan and add one or two electronic fans in front of the radiator to push air throo..

If i do that i get 9.1 cm / 3.6 in to play with..
And some HP as the stock fan steals some..

Lowrange off-road had a show and shine over this last weekend. While there I saw a first gen runner that had a turbo supra motor swapped into it. Pretty slick looking, looked like it belonged there. He said though that it had a tendancy to snap axles because of the extra torque, can't remember what he swapped in for the axles. Keep us updated, looks good.

Love the runner, can't wait to see the engine outcome. Also love the 3000GT parked next to your 4R in the last pic.

Wow, this has been my dream for a while, I'm hopefully (if it doesn't sell from under me) picking up a 95 4R in a few days, gotta start shopping around for a 1KD.

So when it was supposed to test drive the first time there was no question that the motor was fried
When the motor was opend Spuned rod bearings and main bearings faced me.
Went and got a solid motor tonight that goes in this weekend.
It takes no time as Its ready for a new motor.
