A couple pics of my old Toyota when I patched the frame and installed new shock mounts.

I found a good running 3.0 for cheap only thing is the truck is an auto. Can I still use that engine for my truck because I have a manual. the motor is from an 88 and mines a 92 but I heard the older 3.0 motors held up better than the newer ones

I had never really had any issues out of the 3.0 until now the head gasket held up , it smoked a lil right at start up then would quit. I drove it like that for 2 years and recently just replaced the clutch and bought a spare Trans. So thats why I was kinda leaning towards a remanufactured 3.0...

Well the 3.0 is got a lil knock to her and its time to make a decision, rebuild,remanufactured,or swap a used 3.0 or 3.4 . I am on a very tight budget but need a reliable truck for a long time. the 3.0 dosent have much power but im not to worried about that. Could possibly gain a few HP with a...

So to check the spark on the plugs should I just undo the wires from the dizzy and lay them on the valve cover and see if I get a spark?

I have a 83 Toyota with a 22r I changed the plugs and wires and noticed the previous owner has cross threaded the #1 spark plug into the head. it had about two threads left so I installed the plug to see what would happen and it blew the spark plug out of the engine. I put in a heli coil and new...
