I'm going to be buying a used Tacoma and since most that are for sale have 300,000 miles or engine problems so I wanted to know:
1 - what is involved in swapping a 2.4 for a 2.7 engine or vise-versa?
2 - if it had the 6 cylinder does it have to be replaced with the 6 cylinder or can you drop a 4 cylinder in to replace it?
3 - are all the auto trannys the same on all the engines?
4 - if you swap with a different engine and lets say you bought a crate motor for it, which is the better choice 2.4 or 2.7 ?
5 - im asking about matching the tranny, starter and everything that bolts onto it and what needs changing out other then just the engine itself.
im not talking about the nuts and bolts of it, I've pulled a couple of chevy engines out before so I know that part.
thank you for your help
