All of the credit goes to Gadget and URD. Couldn't have gotten that engine without him... period.

One heck of a beautiful looking engine, there. Great find Gadget. :adore:

I see that it has a 4x4 oil pan as well. Are there plans to swap it to the XR oil pan, or going to leave it be?

That is upto Klint.

I see that some have put in a used engine with a 4x4 pan on it and it fits.

He will need to get a new dip stick if he leaves it. The plastic top is broken off.

It only takes a few minutes to swap the pans if he wants the right one on there. Maybe he can go Coupe.

Engine swap this weekend. Glad to have a few sets of hands but last call for anyone that may want to come hang out or help. Steve has been generous enough to open up his house (and pool). Really looking forward to getting the truck back on the road. Been 1 month without it... seems like an eternity.

i think it was a :canada: if i recall correct. He had to take a notch out on his crossmember in order to clear it. :top: Looked into this a while back, when i though my new (current) motor was going to have the deeper pan. Which is didn't...i guess the V6 tundras get the XR oil pan. :rolleyez:
