Hi,
I'm looking to get this swap done (not by me)... I have to see how much it will cost me. What are the parts that I will need to buy. Reading some info on it it seem that people have different opinions.

I have found a 96 3.4L at a low price for my 93 Truck (manual).

I know I'll need :
Engine
ECU
Wiring Harness

What else should I add...

I have read ...
Flywheel
Clutch

I read that putting downy headers is a good idea to simlpy stuff...!?

3.4L swap, Id go with a small block 350 chevy

 

[wheelerz]

What are the differences between years of the 3.4L. Will it be easier to convert if I get an older model (ex: 1996) ??

...or a 4.3.

 

[OhNoes]

Do you think the 350 swap would be cheaper/easier? Curious, cuz I'd much rather have a big V8...

 

[wheelerz]

hmm well I like the idea of sticking with Toyota. And that the motor is cheaper on gas then the 3L.

It's my everyday car to go to work. I just bought the 96 3.4L

Let's see how hard it will be to find the rest of the stuff.

 

[wheelerz]

can you plug a 97 harness into a 96 ECU???

Well, it really all depends on what set up you're going to be using. You can get a long block 350 and like a turbo 350 for about $2200. Then of course you'll need a t-case which I don't know a round-a-bout price on, probably around $400 used. Then of course, a carb setup is cheapest, you can buy the engine mounts pre-fabbed, so no guess work is involved there which is a huge plus. After the bodylift, engine mounts, engine, trans, and t-case, if you do the work yourself, you're probably lookin at around $2500-$3000. It probably ain't gonna get much cheaper than that, unless you've gotta good hook-up. It's a much simpler setup, but at the same time you're gonna spend just as much and do just as much if not more work. You'll have more power though, so that's a factor to consider. You can get 1 of those long block 350's from any Chevy dealer for around $1500.

You should be able to, if it's the same ECM as in manual or auto trans...

 

[wheelerz]

what about ORS ?? I can't find a damn harness. It would save alot of time probably, but it's really costy that's why im thinking about it.

That's 1 of the main reasons, plus financial reasons, that I gave up on the 3.4 swap. It's a bitch to find a harness. If I were you, I'd call somewhere like TAP Recycling, they're a pain in the ass, but they've gotta good selection of parts. Whatever you do, don't use a place called Toyota Truck Parts out of Rancho Cordova, Ca. They screwed me outta $400 and I've yet to see a refund. Good luck, Wes

 

[wheelerz]

yeah I found a 97 harness... like you said it should work... I just need to call to get a price.

 

[wheelerz]

I called TAP ... nice place but they are located in California and the guy told me the harness are different for California made vehicules.

any other places I can call ?

well, I could be wrong, but I think the only difference is the extra o2 sensor. I could be wrong though. Ask Gadget, I'm sure he knows.

 

[wheelerz]

like i said in my other post
I just called a toyota dealer in Canada and the price for a brand new harness is 400 $ (US money).

no shit? that's for the entire engine harness? I recieved figures here around Mississippi that it would be about $1500. That's a shitload cheaper than what I was told.

 

[wheelerz]

hehe I hope the guy was not mistaken. I said the wiring harness for the engine.

I found one in a scrap yard in Quebec and it's 260 CAN $. But it's a 95. I didn't know they made 3.4L in 95 !?!?

 

[wheelerz]

I got that answer from a scrap yard :
95 is a competely different vehicle engine and harness

interchange is one year only on the harness,engine code is 5vsfe,please call me toll free @

1-866-869-9007


What does this mean... interchange is one year. Because he said he had a 95 harness.
