Hi,
I'm looking to get this swap done (not by me)... I have to see how much it will cost me. What are the parts that I will need to buy. Reading some info on it it seem that people have different opinions.

I have found a 96 3.4L at a low price for me 93 Truck (manual).

I know I'll need :
Engine
ECU
Wiring Harness

What else should I add...

I have read ...
Flywheel
Clutch

You can get wire harness from Painless. It's a lot easier to install.

Im not sure if the 3.4L will fit.

I know that Toyota came out with a 4Runner that was wider in '97 when they first put the 3.4L in the 4Runner. Im also pretty sure that they made the truck wider when they put the 3.4L in it too.

Im not 100% certain of that though.

You might want to look into putting a 2.7L I-4 in your truck. The horsepower is no better than the 3.0L, but the torque, fuel economy and ease of servicing is much better!

Yes a 3.4l will fit. Ive seen it done. Plus you can put a supercharger on the 3.4 and add even more HP! Ill see if i can find the guys who did the 3.4 swap...theyll tell ya all you need to know!

If it fits Im sure its a REALLY tight fit.
The 3.0L in my '90 4Runner was crammed in there and was almost impossible to work on (the only way I ever found to get the oil filter off was to take off the right front tire).
If you can, post some pics of swapping out that engine. Id like to see just how tight the 3.4L fits into a '90 4Runner.

I bought a 1996 3.4L Do I really have to get the 96 ECU ?

***Bakemono*** · 03-23-2005, 03:51 PM

Thats not bad at all! It certainly doesnt look like its any more cramped than it would have been with a 3.0L.
