the guys on the mini truck board might be more of a help. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

As an owner of a Toyota V6, I say skip it and chuck in a vortec or V8
150 Hp, head gasket issues, and other garbage makes the motor not really worthy of a swap, IMO. And it is a PITA to work on.

Of course, mine has 180K on it, and still gets me to work everyday <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif" border="0">
