WTF do you mean I can't post that?!
Hi, at the end of installing crap on the gen 2.5 Tundra (yay!) So the next project is started. We have a relatively low mile 2nd Gen 4Runner less than 125K on it. It has a 3.slow in death mode, it has an auto transmission. Parts I have so far a R150F with a top shift transfer case, all the pedals, brackets and the cross member. Where we are stuck is drop in a 1uz or a 3.4 they are both semi in the budget, the 1uz would preclude some additional wanted swaps, but I feel would be fun.
So we have been looking at engines, re-manufactured 3.4's are not cheap up in the PNW a basic one runs 2500+ then would need all the other parts, a JDM 1uz 20-50k miles runs 1100-2000 up here (would need the bell housing etc) a JDM 3.4 same miles runs 700-1300 and have the bell housing on the R150F already. What are the pros and cons of the swaps? Would a 1uz give me enough adrenaline rushes to make it worth the cost? Would a 3.4 and a boost of some sort be as much fun? I have a garage, winter is coming, we have both rebuilt motors at one point, have done two transfer case overhauls, and three transmission re-synchroings (is that a word?)
So I am asking those more in the know.
Budget I hope to keep it under 6K for the build to get most things done, lower is better, higher would not be great.
Thanks!
