: 2500 so shop it a bit

I can get the motor and ECU for $1300. The adapter plates etc are $1900. the wireing up and plumbing
in is around $2000, exhaust $600, new Rad $340.


As far as a new lower km 2nd hand 3VZe $2800 plus my time to fit.

I would dearly love to fit a V8 but the cars just that good to start with. If it was a 1997 or
something then I probably would.

I have to be realistic here. I may even just fix it with a gasket set and on sell the car for what
its worth. Put that towards a newer 4x4 that hasnt got high kms.

EG: I get $5k for mine save the $5 spend and add that to the coffers. thats gotta get my a 1/2
decent 4x4. Im happy enough to cut the loses now. With all the forums etc I couldnt find more than
one person that could provide a price it cost them personally. $4k was the best but he has now
advised that he couldnt do it for that much. Maybe someone could with a few contacts and a lot of
time. Ive neither at the moment.

Mind you, should the Lotto numbers come up next week its off to the engineer with a cheque for $12K.
Then off to the panel shop for a tart up. Suspension shop trim shop and tyre shop......

But for now reality kicks in and I have to make the decision to do whats best. Now just gotta wait
for the Ebay gasket set to arrive from the UK.

Toyota Genuine gasket set $755, Supercheap $545, Autobahn $Not stocked, Repco $564, Ebay $123. Lets
hope that its not all mangled and farked when it gets here eh.


Unless someone can tell me they can fit a 1UZ-E For under $6k then this is the path that I will have
to take.

Damn it!

I was thinking by a right off at the auctions and do the swap , your
current motor is common to several model so scan the pickles site , I
know a bloke who can bid it if you need.

yeah, not a bad idea. A 1995 model or there abouts would be nice. Swap all the dodgy bits over.
Wreck it and try make it a cheaper job. Again the time issue sucks a bit though. I do have time to
slowely wreck a car though. Leav it in the garage for a while and EBay the bits off.
Only issue is that it needs to be the 4runner as the Camry 3ZV-e in that has different heads due to
the Front wheel drive.

You have a site link for Pickles?
