3.sl0w v6 conversion to a buick v6
Hey everyone,
this is my first post here WOOT! I run a 1990 3.0 4x4 and like many other ppl i have head problems w/ it, mainly the gaskets get blown easily cause of the cast iron block and the aluminum heads. I just got done rebuilding it, and low and behold im attached to my yota, so i am exploring the option of doing a nice little swap. Now im not looking for MOAR horsepower and speed, i want reliability and consistency with my engine w/out many mods to the body, firewall ect ect as u would w/ a sbc or another bigger v8. So i have picked a Buick v6 engine, i havent picked a specific engine model, but i would like to see if anyone else has done this swap and the difficulty of it. If i need to mod my transmission or anything else on my truck. THNX
