Replacing motor need suggestions

[Justin5772002]

I have a 99 4runner with a 3.4L v6 with TRD supercharger 1st gen. I cracked a piston 3 years ago and have been waiting for money to get my love back on the road. Finally I have the money and I'm just wanting to know what advice everyone has in either a longblock or rebuild etc. please help! Vehicle has 160k miles on it.

I would do a brand new short($900 give or take) block depending if there is damage to the heads. Then I would take the head to the machine shop and have them go over them checking for cracks and replacing the valve seals ($150.00 give or take).... Of course you're in Calif and shit much cheaper where I am just going off of prices I've actually seen here.

C&T Japanese Engines in Ontario if you want a used long block

If I end up doing a rebuild are there certain parts I should make sure to go with since I have my supercharger? I want to do this the right way so it lasts me a while.

I got a very well maintained motor if you're interested. Also have a smooth shifting auto too. Both still in truck if you'd like to test drive.
