Engine swap

[ejpedde]

Has anyone done a 350 swap recently? I have been unable to resolve my 93 4Runner's issues and have done some reading on a 350 swap a guy did a couple years ago. In the thread, one guy replied that had he used a Chevy drivetrain instead of an adapter to the Toyota 5 speed, he could have saved some time and money.

Does anyone know what Chevy transmission, etc. would be used for that application?

Thanks.

^This. The nice thing about chevy is that there a tons of options. Yout going to have to make a new crossmember mount no matter what you do.

even with the toyota trans you need to make a new crossmember?

Maybe not, depends on how you do it. I have a feeling with the 350 in there youll want to push it as far back as you can to make room for the radiator.

Good thought. I guess ill find out when i put it in. For what i have found as far as kits and additional parts recommended to go with them i haven't seen new cross members but there's only one way to find out.:yo:
