    Bought a 1991 4runner with blown motor. What engine does everyone recommend? I also have a 1998 with 260000 miles and going strong. And also a 2023 4040 limited edition model. So yes I like 4 runners!!

    Welcome. The 3.4 swap is the most popular.

    Welcome to the forum!

    The 3.4 (5VZ) mentioned above definitely makes sense.
