the 4runner died about a week ago while I was driving down the highway...
I started losing power and heard a knocking and about 10 seconds later there was an explosion and I saw sparks flying out the rear of the truck...
I pulled over immediately and there was already a pool of oil on the ground... needless to say, we pulled it home and soon found that something had shot out the side of the block...
It looks like a part of a piston, but it's hard to tell since it's so crowded in there...
but, it doesn't really matter because the engine is shot and I will be switching it with the 3.4 as soon as I can come up with the money to buy it...
I've already started fixing up my 77 f150, so I can sell it and use the money to buy an engine...
I'd like to have it painted, and running fairly decent by the end of June...
--------Info I'd like to know--------
----I need to find wiring diagrams for the 3.4 and 3.0
----I need to find some decent write ups on the swap (I've seen a couple but they weren't that great)
----any advice would be greatly appreciated
I want to have this engine in the 4runner by the middle of August...
