For anyone interested in doing the swap, I basically have a donor vehicle. I'd like to sell her and have attempted eBay, Craigslist, CarGurus and even here. She needs an engine and this looks like the right thread to get her a bit more attention. I'm moving in the next week and need to find...

Now listed as an AUCTION on eBay Motors. Starting bid is $2000.

$6000 OBO! For sale by owner. Title in hand. Needs engine. Newly rebuilt transmission and transfer case. New winch. Low mileage tires. Off road bumpers front and rear. Clean interior. DM with any further questions or any offers other than asking price. Will trade for GX470 or 4th gen V8 4Runner.

"Nancy" the TLC is going up for sale. I have her listed on eBay Motors as well. Just under 180K miles on the frame. A440 transmission and original transfer case rebuilt at around 176K miles (completed by AAMCO). Interior is clean. Aftermarket stereo with front USB input. Rubber floor mats...

A day that will go down in infamy...Sept. 7, 2021. 2 years of sadness for this child.

On another note, if I don't sell, I did find that the Mark's 713027-EK kit is $2700 and bolts directly to a Vortec or LS motor w/ wiring harness. I could get that, a decent motor and beg my mechanic to help me on labor. At least then she would run for around $4K. Something to maybe consider.

I figured as much. I was considering 4.8 Vortec or 5.3 LS, 4L60E, external transmission cooler and Advance Adapter (trans to transfer)

I wouldn't remove any parts for any reason. I currently own this vehicle (title in hand) and a crappy Xterra. The plan is to get a new vehicle with a downpayment amounting to whatever I sell both of these for. I love this vehicle, but I will probably buy another one at a later date when time...

Word! I didn't realize it had been so long for that user. I guess anyone could answer my question.

I'm interested to know what you ended up doing. My main reason is that I'm contemplating selling my FJ62 for lack of funds and time to work on her. If you mate the vortec/LS directly to the A440F, what additional parts are needed besides the wiring harness for the new engine, the engine mounts...

I have the AAMCO paperwork confirming the recent rebuild of the transmission and transfer case. My mechanic confirmed that only the engine was damaged when she threw the rod.

Here's the last few. All interior and exterior bulbs have been changed to LED except for the dash lights (because I didn't want to remove the dash).

Here's how she's looking today...

Thank you for your honest opinion. I really appreciate it! Do you know about what I'd be looking at getting? Several thousand at least?

It has been forever since I've been on here. My poor TLC has been sitting since I broke the engine (threw a rod in March of 2021). I have done zero to her. 190,000 original miles on the frame. Recently rebuilt the transmission and transfer case. I am going to need to buy a new vehicle...
