$1000 with complete engine harness and most bolt on accessories included (in Oklahoma City)













This is a good 3VZ-E motor; I just wanted a supercharged 3.4L in my truck, so I swapped it out.

It has 115,812 miles on it. I bought the truck new and have cared for this engine like a baby. After breaking it in I have run nothing but synthetic oil in it and changed it every 3000-3500 miles. Never did I go more than 3500 miles, usually closer to 3000 miles. I can tell you exactly what mileage anything was done because I keep records like a city clerk hehe.

The head gasket was replaced under the recall 10/24/97 at 52,340 miles. The work was done by the dealer in Wichita Falls, Tx. (where I was working as a mechanical engineer at the time). The mechanic did the job right (took him a week) I went by every day after work and checked on my baby. One day I went in and the heads were gone, and he explained they were at a machine shop getting checked for flatness. I have since learned a lot of Toyota techs skip this important step. I also had them do the timing belt and knock sensor wire at the same time. So mileage wise it is due for a timing belt change again.

I did a compression check just before I pulled the motor out and the results were: #1, 154 #2, 150 #3, 162 #4, 160 #5, 162 #6, 157. All within Toyota specs.

I would like to get $1000 for this motor. It was pulled out with care and I left the engine harness attached to make it easier to put back in (something I was planning to do if I could find a truck in need of it). I covered every opening to keep dust out of it during storage and ran fuel stabizer through the whole EFI system prior to pulling the motor. It is still on the engine stand covered in plastic.

It was in front of an auto tranny, (which is also in great shape). I also have the ECU for it as well as a newly rebuilt power steering pump that doesn't leak. The oil pressure sender isn't included because I needed that, also I needed to take the top cover off the AC compressor to use on the 3.4 AC compressor.

Pick-up only, I really don't want to build a shipping crate for this. I will consider installing it in your truck for you for the right amount of bribing.

 

Wow sounds like a good buy. Toyota wants 1100-1200 just to adjust valves in my tired 1990 3.0. Wish i had the funds.

 

arggghh. would love to buy but i'm about 12 hrs south of you!

 

You have a PM.

 

PMed you back, thanks

 

Dang, I wish you were closer and I had more $$$. I found a nice local 4runner without engine for 1,000 on craigslist. Anyways, bump for a nice deal!

 

Its sold now

 

what about the tranny?

 

Yeah I still have the auto tranny/transfer case combo and it's in good shape too. I need to start a thread for it too. You interested in it?

It's complete except I took the speed sensor out of it.




The over-heat light has never come on with it and the ATF was flushed at fairly regular intervals.

History:
6/12/93 I bought the truck new (50 miles on odometer)

2/3/95 Complete flush was done @ 15,018 miles by the dealer (Toyota ATF).

1/22/97 Complete flush done @ 41,908 miles by the dealer (Toyota ATF).

8/1/02 A drain and refill was done @ 92,880 miles (Toyota ATF).

9/5/03 The pan was dropped, filter changed, and magnets cleaned @ 100,327 miles with a refill (Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF). The filter was hardly dirty at all but I had already bought a new one before I dropped the pan so I replaced it anyway. The magnets just had the normal amount accumulation on them.

9/10/03 that was followed by a complete flush (Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF) @ 100,440 miles.

8/5/04 This Hayden transmission cooler was added at 105,000 miles, just as a precaution, there was never any indication of overheating problems (as I said, the over-temp light has never come on):


In march 2006 I started my 3.4 swap and the tranny was removed at 115,812 miles and was working great when removed.

Here's some pics of it coming out:







I did make one mistake while removing the tranny (the first one I ever removed) I didn't unbolt the torque converter (TC) from the drive plate so when I slid the tranny back from the engine the TC seperated from the tranny and stayed with the engine. Because of this there is a slight posibility the TC seal could have been damaged but it looked ok to me. The fact that I used a tranny jack and removed it very carefully probably helped, but you may want to check that seal yourself or just replace it as a precaution.

All the openings, like where the ATF cooling lines connect, were wrapped and sealed when disconnected to keep any dust or dirt out. The pan was not removed and the kick down cable is still connected. It's been stored wrapped in plastic in a storage room since being removed from the truck.

I'll start a new thread for this later.
