what year 4runner, what box do you want to use, manual or auto?
don't expect to get away withn it for less than 7-8 k. Marks conversion kit is nearly $4000, then theres wiring, exhaust, a/c etc. If you want anything more drop me a line. had mine now for 4 yrs and have gone from manual to auto. Also have a sump for the ifs.

Srry its a 1990 4runner, had expected to have to go auto, what are they like in the bush.

That price for the marks kit, can sum pieces be fabricated at home?

The autos pretty good , just select gear and let it go. Down hill is abit different with the auto wanting to run away, different driving styles needed. You'll be able to get away with some of the stuff but you'll need engine mounts, gearbox extension housing ( bellhousing adapter ) and a manual fan. I run the standard V6 fuel pump in tank and it works fine.

Obviously yours will be a little different being a different engine to start with (mine was a 3Y). But even some of these things could be fabricated. Engine mounts for instance and even the wiring loom if you wanna burden yourself with that headache. As for the engine driven fan I dont really see the point when thermo fans will suffice. Bear in mind though there are a ton of other expenses. Radiator, exhaust. engine computer, auto, torque converter, engineering, all the small incedentals and the list goes on.

the only thing i used from Marks was the adapter from the auto to the transfers.

everyting else i fab'd myself or just used the commo stuff.
it helps if your mates with a good auto electrician.
if u have any questions don't hesitate, it's an easy conversion.

Cheers Chris

Yeah Roc I remember your build up you lucky bastard lol. Was hoping to get down to orm with Beebee a couple weekends back to have a look.

Mad I'd say Rocs build up is as cheap as you can get it. But if I remember correctly he was getting stuff rebuilt by mates for cartons or somehting. If you've got the connections or know how go this route. Mucho cheapo. But I wouldnt reccomend spending any more than I did on the marks stuff. 3-4 k just for marks gear is crazy.
