3.0 to 3.4 swap hard $ cost?
So for the ones that have done the swap from a 3.0v6 to the 3.4 v6 what was your cost on the project. I know cost vary with price of donor motor and so on. Just looking for a close ball park on cost. Also looking for 3.4v6 motor info and what bolts up to it. Tranny wise. What is the best year for the 3.4v6 and so on. If you have a link to a thread or website, that would be great. Thanks.

My case, not finished yet but the only expensive thing I have left to buy is the headers...here's a breakdown:
3.4 with Tranny(to be sold, if you have a a 5spd from the 3.0 it's what's easiest to use)-$1,000
3.4 Standard kit from ORS(sorry, they're not making them anymore, but if someone starts that up it'd prolly be in the ballpark)-$1,085
Marlin HD 3.4 clutch kit-$299
Downey Headers(Ceramic coated)-$485
Right around $3,000 or a lil more, considering coolant, oil, new timing belt just because I dunno if it was ever changed.
ORS still has tech info and lists of whatcha need from both rigs, so check out their engine conversion stuff

And there's also this place to look...www.yotatech.com/f160/

yea, i have... i know taht you made your own motor mounts and ran into a couple complications with the exhaust...
i read that over on pirate... theres not as much about it on yotatech...
and i know that you mentioned something about maybe not being able to use the FWD motors because of the way that the intake is positioned...

Moved to the 3.4 Swaps section.
Hopefully you'll get a more direct/relevant response in here, also do some searching in here and see what you can find.

I spent about $5k on the truck and the swap. That was my total out of pocket. I sold my 3.0 and trans and number of other little stupid things. I did all the fab myself except the actual exhaust install (I did make my own crossover) and I did all the wiring too. It took me about 3 weeks of working nights and weekends in an abandoned garage. I spent about 2 months studying ever forum on this site and doing Toyota research. I spent the first weekend of those three weeks picking up supplies and tools and setting up the shop.
