- LS swapping a 2nd gen 4runner finding out what will need done and cutting off the front-end episode 1. we find out how much room is needed and how difficult this swap will be to complete.
Following for sure. Thinking about dropping a 5.3 in my 2nd gen
Thanks for the follow and let me know goes your build goes
From what I've read, plenty have installed 5.3's in the gen 2's, so you can probably buy a premade wiring harness, mounts, adapters and most anything you need. That was what I was hoping for when I started researching a 5.3 swap into my gen 4, but no luck so far. It's looking like I'm probably going to have to buy a reman or used 4.0. A used 170k motor run anywhere from 3500 to 4500 bucks and that's ridiculous.
I bypassed my abs box on 3.4 swap. I believe it just ran power steering from pump to the steering box. And then just reconfigured the abs lines with like a t or elbow fitting. Brakes still work I really don't notice a difference. Looks like you got it figured out. But that box can be co.pletely bypassed. But your Abs light will be on until you pull the bulb.
Thanks for the information. That's the one part that would have been tough if the brakes don't work properly
Good stuff!
Love it! Glad youtube showed me your channel. I plan on doing a chevy v8 of some sort and this looks like it’s right up my alley!
Thanks for watching and if you see anything you want more information on or any questions just ask.
@@barnyardmechanic3622 thanks! I think I’m going try and find a good donor 5.3 or 5.7 from pull and pay and rebuild it over the winter. I’m not too far along in your series, how’s the trans fitting for you?
@@3.0colorado21 I got the transmission and transfercase fit with only a little modification to the body.
@@barnyardmechanic3622 sweet man. That’s what I was worried about. Not too much extra space in the trans tunnel, I was looking into those adapters but I’m not a fan.
@@3.0colorado21 I don't mind the adapters but if you are able to use all of the chevy stuff I think it mate's up better. I know the shifting of the transfercase will be difficult from what I have tried to figure out but I will come up with the right combination eventually.
That slack in chain is normal. The early year Ls don't have any type of tensioner or "guide". I thought mine had alot of slack at first on my 92xxx mile ls1 when I tore down for cam and heads.
Once I put the new chain on I saw how much slack there was I figured it was normal.
what did you do about the Tcase and utilze the toyota axle being a passanger side drop pumkin?
I am using a np231c that is a passenger side drop that will work with the toyota passenger side third
What mounts, headers, pan, and intake are you going with? Sticking with truck accessories?
The motor mounts are generic ones for an LS swap I can modify if needed. The headers from conversion specialists. We are going to try and stick with the stock oil pan and intake. The stock intake is 1" lower than aftermarket and every inch counts.
I want to start documenting my swap I would be interested on the video editing software you use and what camera you use and tripod
Right now I use 2 gopros with the media mod and the video editing software is Movavie the tripods are several differences. Some are from gopro and some are cheap amazon ones
@@barnyardmechanic3622 sweet thanks I like the videos I have been Bing watching the build
I have a 2006 4.0 SR5 4x4. I'm wanting to install an LS Chevy, but keep the front IFS. Is it possible, and if so, could you email a list of websites, parts, wiring harnessess, info, etc. that can help make things easier for me. Any help or info you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! J. Tyler
You may be able to keep the IFS with a different oul pan and a body lift. I don't have much experience with that year and if the suspension has any more clearance. Most of my builds are custom and never alike.
Is this 4runner going to have 4wd with the
LS motor?
Yes this will be 4x4 with a 6l80e transmission
Wow, going big.
