engine swap

I have a 1990 auto 4Runner with a blown engine in the US..so I’m wanting to swap out for a 2l-te mostly because it’s my understanding it could swap over to the current automatic transmission bellhousing and it will be reliable. Any info on this route would be very helpful 🙏🙏

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...

I am purchasing a 88 FJ62 that cracked the head and the owner now wants to sell. The rig has 145k miles and I am debating on the best course of action for getting her back up and running and I would love some feedback or opinions from the group here. As I see it, I have a few options without...

Planning to do an engine swap on my J**p this winter. Wondering if someone has an engine hoist to loan. Willing to repay the loan with unskilled labor or random used 80 parts. Chris

Dear all, gathering parts for my future BJ45 resto and purchased a good 2H engine (300,000 km/190,000 miles). Got it from a German friend who swapped it in his 1985 HJ60 for a 12H-T. Now I found here in Greece the relic/hulk of another German 1985 HJ60, sitting in the mountains since five years...

Good day one and all; I have a 1978 BJ40 with the 'B' engine which is shot. Has anyone been able to drop anything other then another 'B' without running into a lot of problems? Just wondering. Thanks, Don

I received this FJ62 in a barter with another MUD member quite a few years ago. He had pulled the engine and rebuilt it. Long story...but that engine ended up going into my wife's FJ62, "Urkel", which has it's own thread. Needless to say, the truck was pretty nasty inside. We cleaned what...

Just wanted to share my experience replacing my 2UZ-FE in my 2003 LC100 for anyone thinking of tackling this... I bought a 2003 LC100 earlier this year, when I test drove it all seemed well. All was not well with the engine... The previous owner badly over heated the original engine and...

Hi all, Looking for any suggestions, advice, or contacts. I’ve been on the road with my FJ75 (one day I will get the build thread up to date). It’s at 516,000km on the 3F. I was tempted to do a full engine overhaul before I left, but time and money decided otherwise. On the Top of the World...

Can a complete 93 be dropped into a 97 without too much effort?

1977 FJ40... asking $8800 Pretty clean and unmolested. Has some dings to the driver's side fender and door. But it's definitely a rust free southwest truck. A great truck to build from. Originally mustard yellow but re-sprayed the blue color at some point. Factory disk brake front axle...

$10,000 OBO 1997 LX 3X Locked, Engine Swapped with 1994 GM LT1/4L60E Transmission, lockers all work. Runs like a champ. Front axle rebuilt, and all differential oil changed. New Boss Android/Apple stereo. Interior is nice. One small dent under passenger headlamp from an accident before I bought...

Hello! I was hoping someone can give me some insight or point me to the right direction. 1987 Land Cruiser, had a 2F engine with H44F transmission. Conversion: -LM7 Vin T from a 2000 Tahoe (Originally automatic transmission) with 5.3L LS crank pattern -H55F Transmission I have purchased these...

I've read a lot in the past week or so, I don't have any reason to believe that my 3B-T will crap out soon but I know it eventually will. Whenever something catastrophic does happen, I'm pretty set on not trying to rebuild it, parts are getting harder and harder to find (more expensive too), and...

All work is finally complete and its a beaut Clark! This beautiful specimen has been our family adventure rig for many years. Originally from Oregon, we moved the Landcrusier to Tennessee 3 years ago. It lived traversing forest service roads on both coasts, allowing my kids to grow up with...

Hey All, I hydrolocked my motor and am in the middle of a swap, while pulling my old motor, I damaged the torque converter - it made a nasty ticking noise when spinning by hand. Have a new torque converter now, and no more noise when spinning on the trans - I already pre-filled the TC as much...

Hi all, Haven't seen any threads on this yet--please send my way if this has been covered already. Decided I'm going to get the engine either rebuilt or swapped before summertime on the 60, trying to figure out what best options for engines I have to swap it with vs flat rebuild. I'm new to...

Hi all, So here’s an update on my 75 series conversion. As some of you know, I’m dropping a 2UZ into it. So far, it’s going well... basically it fits! The first issue, not thought about, is the radiator.. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what will fit, which would suit a 2UZ, that isnt...

I’ve had my 96 T100 in the driveway for a while now with a broken engine. I recently had my GX470 totaled, so I’ll be revisiting this project. I came into the possession of my grandpas 96 4Runner 2wd, would this engine be a direct swap? They both have the 3.4 V6 engine and just would like to...

Hi everyone, this is my first post. After years of wanting to own a beast, I finally have one. I’ve recently purchased a 1988, 75 series LWB. I want to upgrade the engine and had either diesel 1hd-fte or the petrol 2uz-fe in mind. I also plan to swap the gearbox for an auto ( sac religious I...
