muledeerarea33? Report post Posted September 5 I’d see what joohnnybgood has to say before engine swapping anything. (don’t know him from Adam) Working on cars myself it sounds like he’s not trying to rip you off but yet figure out what needs to be done before quoting repairs. That alone shows a class act. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve met him and been to his shop in Phoenix. Solid guy for sure . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted September 5 2 hours ago, TrackerG said: The 3.4 swap is most certainly the way to go. It is a little costly, but with a 3.4 you do not loose power, like you would with a 22re swap. And the 3.4 is an amazing engine if its maintained. Is there anything special required for that swap?

Crazymonkey Report post Posted September 5 Johnny is a good dude!! I've bought/ sold/ traded lots with him . Super knowledgeable on the car stuff. I'm sure there is some stuff that goes with a motor swap . The ecu and fuel injection stuff is probably different. Depending on milage it's just turning a wrench . I did my old 05 4runner in the garage when the passengers side head gasket started to leak . It was still a grand in parts and head work to put it back together. That year had stretch to torque head bolts that requires new bolts when removing. I'm sure if Johnny is going to look at it he's gonna make sure it's right. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
