V8 conversion

[Singtoe]

I see not on a Mailbu this time.

Transplanting the 3.4 into that 2nd gen?

How much does the engine weigh, or can ya take a guess?

That is what the buyer was planing on. He came over this morning at 9 and we took her for her last maiden voyage. Buyer was happy and came back start the breakdown only after he paid me first.

11:30 and we were loading it up in the back of his runner.

When picked it up and carried it into his truck, I would guess it was every bit of 200 pounds maybe a little more.

It's about freaking time. This thread is just a tease right now.

I will continue day to day stuff on this thread but once it is complete, I'll make a new thread start to finish.

Removing the old cat. I love working on southern trucks. no corroded bolts look at o2 sensor.

Anybody need a Cat and A/F sensor?

Frame ready for transplant.

Side by side Sequoia and 4runner.

Removed the 2uz as an assemble for mocking in frame.

2uz motor mount

Crazy bolt pattern for 2uz motor mount.

What the hell is this. There is another one on the other side.

Mocking the engine in place

even more

Passenger side cat has perfect fitment all around.

Oil pan sump fits in between the diff and the frame cross member beautifully.

Oil sump fits around the diff mounts

Oil filter is easy to get too.

Drivers side exhaust will need work to clear the steering shaft.

Other bad news is the the ECM is much lsrger then oE.

Do you have two sets of horns on your 4runner?

It looks good so far. I hope you don't have any company coming for Xmas.
