5VZ-FE / 5VZE / 3.4L V6 Toyota Swap

Dave Gio · 04-27-2003, 08:00 PM

The swap is done, and I've had it on the road for about a month and a half now.

If you have the following, this is the easiest and best swap for the 3VZE: 1988 to 1995 Toyota with 3VZE and 5 speed transmission.

As said before, the 5VZ-FE bolts right into place with the stock engine mounts (2" body lift or hood mod needed).

The bellhousings are different but have the same bolt pattern, the difference is the clutch slave cylinder, on the 3VZE it is on the pass side, with the 5VZ-FE its on the drivers side.

You can use either the 3VZE flywheel, pressure plate and clutch to the 5VZ-FE parts.

Also, you can use either of the following 3VZE or 5VZ-FE parts, starter, alternator, radiator, fuel pump, fan.

For the 5VZ-FE oil pan, baffle, and pickup tube, you simply remove the forementioned parts from the 3VZE and bolt them onto the 5VZ-FE, same goes for the dipstick and dipstick tube.

You use the power steering pump from the 5VZ-FE, and the easiest route for AC is to use the 5VZ-FE braket and pump, but the 3vze bracket can be modified to fit, then the V-pulleys on the 3VZE idler and compressor need to be swapped for serpentine ones.

The stock crossover won't work so custom exhaust needs fabbing from the manifolds back, included in the exhaust work is the need for 2 ox sensors (that match the computer year).

Then a few minor issues like moving the battery and mounting the 5VZ-FE components in the engine bay.

This swap is rediculously easy, It can be done in 3-5 days vehicle downtime.

Jansonmt has some pics that he'll be putting up.
