I made some good progress pulling the transmission after work. Got the center console, drive shafts, cross member, and all the electrical connections removed. Tomorrow I'll pull the shifters, slave cylinder, and bell housing bolts. On the plus side I've had FROR twin sticks stuck in my...

Give the people what they want. More Porkchop! Love the Dolphin and your writing style. Keep us posted.

How much clearance do you have from the top of your rear tire to the underside of your flatbed? Is it enough? Scheming for a future project and this will be a great benchmark for me. Cheers!

Thanks, Battleaxe. I came across that thread as well. For some reason I was thinking you put it in like the 3.0 to interface with the 3.0 throw out bearing which is required to be used vs. the 3.4 throw out . I picked up a transmission jack yesterday and I'll start pulling it this evening...

Finally got the swap all tucked away this weekend and ran into a clutch issue. I can row through the gears with no resistance with the truck turned off. Once on I can't put it into gear. I can start in gear with with the clutch depressed or in neutral without lurching forward. Reverse grinds If...

Thanks, @wild_Goose. Got around to some re-assembly this weekend and dropped the engine back in. I probably have a few more hours of buttoning accessories back up before I turn the key, but it feels great to have made it back to this point.

There is something very sexy about a clean wiring job. Nicely done.

I am following the strict rule of 1 step forward 2 steps back lately. I managed to spin a Flywheel bolt and rip out the threads in the crankshaft of the new engine (in a rush and used the short version meant for an automatic). After chasing the threads one still wouldn't hold torque. I...

Love the premise! Keep us posted. Oh, you should really be checking out Oregon State too..GO BEAVS! ;)

My original 3.4 donor had 325k on it when I swapped it in. The "new" 3.4 I'm prepping now has ~50k. Should be finishing it up to drop in this weekend, but I've said that before :)

Exploring BC in the DD after a a weekend in the bike park

Getting closer! Pulled the oil pick up and cut a hole in the slosh baffle to accommodate the 3.0 version. So much cleaner than the last one! Drilled my dip stick relocation. Pneumatic drill was hard to run slow enough but its all I have for a right angle drill.

Pulled what I thought was the drain plug above the fitting and coolant came gushing out the spigot. Yahoo! The bolt was a bleeder valve to release coolant out the fitting. Hacked it off flush with the block and went back to re-assembly.

Getting pretty close to finishing my engine prep and ran my first issue. Looking for help if anyone has run into something similar. There is what appears to be a press fit coolant nipple interfering with my passenger engine mount as shown below. This doesn't exist in the US spec 3.4 layout. My...

Oil pressure sender, plugs, wires, and freshly balanced 4 hole fuel injectors installed. Popped my crankshaft pulley bolt free and called it a night to take my pup to the park. Tomorrow night will be on to the timing belt, water pump, dipstick relocation, oil pan swap... I forgot how many...

Yeah - not ideal. I like how clean the engine is, but it doesn't let you get an idea of what its past life was like.

Looks good! Love the t100s. Now let’s see some pics of how it looks today. Not fair to tease us like that :)

After a long hiatus from working on the 4Runner I dug back into it this weekend. I finally decided I didn't want to spend any more time trying to revive an engine with 325k miles. I started prepping to pull the engine and had it hoisted in record time compared to the first go around. I...

Nest is looking good! Sorry the truck has been such a saga.
