Located a clean 95 4 Runner that needs an engine. Can be had for less than $800. What should I expect to pay someone to replace the engine in this thing? Trying to justify a project.

Is it 4wd? 2.4 or 3.0?
Labor for a 3.0 4wd would prob be 12 to 1500.00

I have a 1992 Toyota truck with a 3.0 extended cab 4wd that I'd let go for $1300.00 It needs a transmission (automatic). 213k miles, I just don't feel like screwing with it.

It is 4wd SR5 with the 3.0 V6 and auto transmission. I am going to look at it Friday. I spoke with the owner earlier this afternoon. Appx 145K miles on the odometer. Could just be a blown head gasket or as severe as a thrown rod. It died going down I 85 in a cloud of white smoke. If it needs a new engine, I may look into upgrading to the 3.4. If I end up buying it, I’ll certainly give you a call Kevin.
Thank you. Let me know if I can be of any help.

3.0 is a solid motor once you take care of the head gasket and crossover pipe. Lots of info on "bulletproofing" that motor. That truck might have factory 4.88 gears. A bunch of the 4runners with autos did.

Sounds like one I saw for sale in Lancaster.
I bought it this afternoon. Body and paint are in good shape. I could not find any rust, even underneath. The interior needs a thorough cleaning and some plastic trim pieces need to be replaced. The rear end should be 4.88 if the code on the door tag is correct. This should work fine with 31s. Definitely needs an engine. 3.4L Toyota V6 seems to make the most sense. Now I need to find one.
Ive got a 3.0 4Runner sitting on the farm that ran when it was parked. Belongs to Cusportsman and Im sure hed sell cheap. Engine swap on those are easy. We done 3-4 trucks 5-10 years ago.

Keep it Toyota! 2RZ or the 5VZ would be great choices. The offroad world out west does the newer 2.7 2RZ swap all the time. It's got more power than the 3.0 and gets great gas mileage. I'd look for a 5 speed truck and swap out the auto if it were me.
