Did our video help you? If so, consider buying us a beer: bit.ly/3feE6tJ
One day Sean was at a PickNPull and met this guy Mikey. Mikey recognized Sean from our RU-vid videos and struck up a conversation with him. Mikey was wondering if he could borrow my special rear axle tool to service his axles and asked Sean to relay the request to me. If I had a crystal ball and could have seen what a cool and generous guy Mikey was, I would have lended him my tool in a heartbeat. But, since I didn't know him and I've had bad experiences in the past lending things out to people, I told him no. But, this started out a conversation between the two of us and I learned Mikey was going to swap out his 5VZ-FE 3.4L V6 engine in his 2002 Toyota 4runner for a 2UZ-FE 4.7L V8 out of a wrecked Toyota Sequoia. I told Mikey we would love to video this project and asked if we could be a part of it. He said, YES!
Mikey has a friend named Wes who owns a Custom Hotrod Shop in Santa Clara, CA. The majority of the work took place at Wes' shop and he was also cool with us filming the project.
Wes moved his shop to Morgan Hill. Here's his contact info if you're interested in using his services for custom automotive work. www.oneoffcustoms.com/ (408) 802-3299
We owe a lot to Mikey and Wes for letting us be a part of this awesome project and we are stoked that we get to share it with all of you.
You're going to get to see some cool things you don't get to see everyday in the Automotive Mechanic World, so grab a beer, sit back, relax and Enjoy the Show!

This was probably the most insane and cleanest engine swap Ever! Mikey and Tim.... You guys are awesome! This was definitely worth watching! Not something I would even attempt! Due mainly to cost and crazy; level 11, on this one! Thank you all involved in this project! 👍

Fantastic but for one hour and 20 minutes where is the test drive at the end? Wanna see this thing fire up

WOW! Lots of great work here. V8 swap looks like it was a factory option. Camera work and narrating showed lots of informative stuff. Video editing nicely wrapped up what I'm sure was hours of footage. Now let's see that thing rip down the highway/trail!

Nicely done. This is definitely an easier and more affordable undertaking for those of us who live in free states. Nicely done. I definitely appreciate the adherence to keeping things as “factory” as possible. The exhaust wasn’t a concern for me because we don’t have to pass emissions tests. My only concerns were the tone and NOT throwing an emissions related code. I definitely didn’t want the factory sound but I didn’t want it to be obnoxious either. Dual borlas and custom 3.25” stainless plumbing makes for a beautiful growl. Thanks for the 1st rate Yota content. It’s very helpful!

Excellent video, very detailed. I’ve always wanted to do a 3rd gen v8 swap….not anymore. Lil more than I’d like to take on. Thanks for sharing

Ive also seen a 5.3 LS motor go in a few 4 runners and Tacoma that were pretty awesome. Nice job on this one!

My new favorite channel!!! Love the toyota stuff!

@herowillrose3198 3 года назад

There are 4.7L V8 manufacturers on 4Runner, they’re very strong moved. I loved that 4.7L V8.

@aldomassa7473

Yeah…. This was a good one Tim, strong work on the all hands build, really impressed with the details explained while body was off chassis, and the referencing of prior builds during the walkthrough. Excellence as always.

Great video of Mikey's 2UZ-FE 4.7L V8 engine swap. After watching this video, buying the donor vehicle, the amount of research, fabrication, customization of everything, and the actual cost, I have total respect for Mikey's abilities & skills to put it all together. Definitely not a weekend project for someone of limited mechanical abilities.

Great job! That's a lot of work but very unique!
