1uzfe into a 96 tacoma

[white96taco]

i have a 1996 3.4L automatic 4x4 tacoma, and i have heard about the 1uzfe swap but do not know anything about it, i heard it is one of the best swap to be done, i am currently in iraq and trying to find out as much as i can about the swap, i would like to do it when i get back i have found engines but do not know if i need to change anything else, i heard that my v6 automatics tranny will work all i need is a sc400 bellhousing, and thats all i know as of now, what else do i need? and how much am i looking into spending for the job to be done right? all advise, information and help is GREATLY appreicated! Thank you!

There will be a few issues with the electronincs on your Taco transmisson and the Lexus computer. The easiest thing to do is use the lexus transmission and just use the output adapter from your Taco tranny. It should bolt right up. I think you can either cut the output shaft on the Lexus tranny or disassemble it and intall the output from the Taco so it will mate up to the transfer case.

You may have some oil pan issues too because of the rack & pinion steerin on the taco. Lexus had 2 different oil pan styles and the interchangeable tundra v8 had a few others. One of them should work bu I'm not sure which.

thanks a lot for the info, i didnt know that at all i was wondering about it though, i found a lexus tranny good shape and price, how hard is it on getting the motor mounts, and do i need to change out the wiring harness?
