Someone who's done a few engine swaps (all Toyota). Closer to the Fremont area.

A shop who wont mind taking a Toyota truck and swapping in old to newer engine...

Thanks a lot...

 

What do you mean old for new engine? I swapped my old tired 22-RE for a brand new one in my truck. Plug an play. Easy stuff.

 

nah... going from a 3vze to a 5z...

 

Blacktrax in Milpitas
BlackTrax - Import & Domestic Tuning - Milpitas, CA
Aki has done TONS of Toyota stuff over the years

 

performance option in oakland is the ****

 

Any chance you're selling that 3VZ?

Oh, and I second performance options.

 

possible deader than disco 3vze...

timing belt went POOF the other day. thank God toyota aint like honda and their interference design.

anyways, last i saw as i crawled to a stop was lots and lots of white smoke coming out of the tailpipe. so could be the head gaskets again... and the heads... and the block.

but be assured that once i swap, i'm getting rid of that 3.slow, er, 3.0L 3vze...

 

Only slow in the wrong car

If there aren't any major problems such as a crack in the block or something I'd like to take it off your hands. It would be rebuilt anyways.

 

what do you have planned?

only good thing about the 3vze is that is lasts forever if taken care of...

 

+1 for Blacktrax in Milpitas and Aki.

He basically took a million pieces and put together and swapped in a new 3sgte into my old alltrac.

 

Swapping it into my MR2. Considered going 1MZ but it's difficult to mess with VVTi ecu's.

Wait I just realized, I remember you saying you have a 4runner. This is a 3VZE not FE right?

 

yup... 3vze...

only other car toyota stuffed this in was a camry...

 

did the alltrac have the 3sgte before?

my biggest concern is the wiring...

 

Don't fear... I used to work with Aki (~10 years ago)... the guy is REALLY good.
