V8 into a '92 4Runner

Mark,
I have seen this done a lot of times, do a 'net search for adaptors such as Mark's (No pun intended), etc. Sure to find a kit to bolt it straight in. Don't forget to include engineering cert's etc and remember 5Ltr will rev same as current V6 unless diff ratio's changed. Check current R.P.M before deciding to go any further.

Yes & get ready for Tojo diffs ,axles, c/v's, gearboxes spat all over the highways & byways I would think unless you upgrade those too. They were not V8 strength.

Mark.
Its true this conversion has been done lots of times but the result always turns out to be much more exspensive than buying a new vehicle, and when its all paid the vehicle has no resale value. the diffs springs brakes gear box power stearing wiring loom radiator all have to be changed. You can pick up a patrol TI for less money and travell in style. Eric.

Check out dellow automotive , you can get their catalogue off their site. They do lots of v6 & v8 conversion kits into hilux / 4runner. Look at the 4litre quad cam lexus motor option if you go for the v8 , very light , 200kw standard, toyo product, very smooth engine.

But keep in mind the comments regarding re-sale values etc. You never get your money back on stuff like this.

Why not just re-work the existing motor ??

In the above I will assume the 5L engine you refer is not the Toyota 5L 3.0 litre diesel engine.

Its torque you need for towing, not outright power (tho its nice).

Hilux are known (even with the stronger v6 running gear) to break driveline bits under some duress.

perhaps a better (& more economical) fit would be ecotec 3.8 V6 (with supercharger if you can find a factory unit). Same max torque, but a hole lot lighter & more fuel efficient than 5 litre

Conversion costs will be similar (for parts labour).
