Pete, I didn't read if you will need it but if you need a slip yoke conversion for that A340 I have a tailshaft and housing to convert it. I can't help you with the driveshaft info though. Jake

Nope on one point. There have been several 1U conversion 4runners done that have past smog in California. A local guy just sold recently a beautiful example on Bringatralier. The smog refs do not car one bit about car or truck. There have been countless 1U's put in Toyota RV's here in...

Dirk, Cheaper or expensive is up to you. None of my questions were motivated by cost considerations. I don't have a list for you. But I have been for a couple of years keeping my eyes open for a nice 1st gen 4runner to swap. There is some information I have collected. But I have never...

Dirk, I have some interest in this also. But you need to answer a couple of questions. Manual or automatic transmission? Solid front axle or IRS? Keep AC and power steering? Any lift on 4Runner? (body or suspension)? Jake

That is going to be a nice combination. The RX2 body style is my favorite. But they have gotten so stupid expensive. The RX7 body style is a real close second. And they drive so much better. Jake

Thanks. I wish the community was healthy enough to support business's dumping in developing money. But it is what it is. There is some stuff coming soon I hope if I can get a couple of paying jobs out of the way. Jake

I have a complete kit as shown in the links that is not going to be used. There will be a flywheel, throwout bearing, the adapter plate and the hardware. It will be less bellhousing but those are easy to get. It should be available in a couple of weeks. Dimensionally its the same one in the...

Its looking like I have a 65 Dodge Dart GT coming up. I was hoping to put a Dodge 3.5 SOHC engine in there from the mid to late 2000's. After doing the research and comparing everything the 1UZFE is still a better engine than a way more "modern" engine that is basically a Mercedes engine. So...

Rod, Speedy recovery buddy. There is no way to know how any decision will turn out. Jake

Yup its always a bit of trial and error. You have a great starting point there though. Hopefully you don't run into any of those issues and the sound stays like that. I like that a lot. Jake

I think that sounds really good. Its throaty with quite a bit of bass. How does it sound inside the car at road speeds? Does it resonate inside the car or drone at all? Jake

Look up Cthommes on here and send him a PM. He does not post on here often. But he is running a booster no problem (but it does seem he had to use something other than factory). He also has the stock power steering without any issues. I will tell you building his oil pan was really quite a...

There is a guy here locally that has a XR4Ti that he has been driving for a year as a daily with the 1U in it. It has a full custom sump as well. He even got it by smogged and sticker-ed as a legal swap. Jake

Steve, I have never done it. Been looking into it for a customer that is considering the A341E as an option for his 64 Dodge Dart GT. But I am going to put it behind a Dodge 340. One of the things I had to do was keep the original push button transmission and it has to look original from...

I am looking forward to it. I am going to take a little different path though. I going sort of old school. I have a guy locally that carries all the vintage wheels from Japan. As soon as he scores the correct Stern wheels for one of these trucks I will grab them. Now its just the job of...

I was wondering how to get a hold of you. I found your youtube videos and enjoyed them quite a bit was having no luck finding detailed information on it. Thank you for the links but the two main questions I had you answered already. I have the ability to make mounts and such. I am thinking...

I have been looking around and there seems to be a number of these trucks running around with finished swaps. But I cannot find anything with information on which headers were used and problems that were run into. Quite a few 4runner pages but I don't think much of that is going to transfer...

I'm on vacation right now and won't be back in the office for about another week. Send me an email to the address I posted earlier. I will send you what I sent him. Jake

Best I have ever found. http://www.rceng.com/ Jake

Nope. But this is. http://ntamc.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html Jake
