NOS50 Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 I have seen a 4Runner with the Lexus 4.0 V8.I have one in the garage(unfortunately its in the wifes LS400).Do you think she would notice if it was gone?I have thought about the 3.4 V6 swap.It uses the same engine mounts and bolts up to my tranny plus the TRD supercharger = about 270hp.

copperhead Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 http://www.lextreme.com has a lot of information on the Lexus 4.0, it's a great motor. I didn't realize the 3.4 bolted right up to your truck. That would be a great swap to do, IMO. The supercharger retails for $3,000 but can usually be had for $2,500 if you look around a bit.

NOS50 Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 There are a few people that have done the swap on an offroad board I frequent.There is a place called Off-Road Solutions that sells a plug in wiring harness for the swap.I tried to buy a wrecked T-100 on E-bay but it didn't sell and the price the bid got up to was a little more than I wanted to pay anyways.(the truck had 196k on it)I would like to buy a whole totaled truck so I could have the computer and everything plus I could sell other parts to keep cost down.

Total Sign Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Or talk to the guy with the Tacoma on here, 350 Swap... Probably a lot cheaper/simpler than the Lexus motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Put in a chevy engine and tranny and you could do it for less than $1000 easily. You can come over and measure my motor mounts and stuff if you want. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a lot cheaper/simpler than the Lexus motor?lol, he has been talking to the guy with the Taco. A 350 swap is cheap and easy. A lexus V8 swap is pimp. But, in a mud truck, pimp is generally not a consideration. Right now, I'm looking at swapping a 2.7 out of a 4x4 Taco to replace my 2.4. To do so, I need; 1. complete engine (minus accessories would be fine) 2. ECU 3. bellhousing Difficult swap, huh? Wiring harness is all the same, as is motor mounts. I'm not even totally sure that I need a different bellhousing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Not sure on that one, but its possible that the bellhousings are the same unless they used the R151 series trany for the 2.7's. Its probably still the W59 like yours since it can easily handle the power. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evanif you are talking to my swap, I talked to a guy on the Taco messageboard that has done some wacky shit with engine swaps in those trucks. He said I DEFINATELY need a bellhousing for a 2.7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOS50 Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 I won't do the Lexus swap because I don't want to bury a Lexus motor in mud.I do want to keep it fuel injected thats why I like the 3.4 swap.The Lexus 4.0 is cheap in junkyards cause they say they never sell them because they run so long.
