    Hi all, first time poster here. I have gained so much insight from this forum and am hoping that y'all can help me out with an issue I'm running into.

    I own a 2001 4Runner SR5, which sadly is nearing the end of its days due to a rusting frame. However, she's got low miles on the engine and a recently rebuilt transmission. I recently found a 1989 4Runner with a good body for sale, and am hoping to purchase this vehicle and get the 3.4L engine and rebuilt transmission swapped into the '89. If I had the skill/space, I would love to try to undertake this project myself, but sadly I have neither, so I'm looking for someone near New Orleans to do the swap for me.

    I've called around to a lot of shops in town and the surrounding areas, and no one I've found is willing to swap an engine unless the engine they are putting in is a new or rebuilt engine that the shop orders. I really want to make this dream a reality, but I'm at a bit of a loss! Does anyone on here know any shops or individuals near me who would take on a project like this? Any other advice would be much appreciated too. Thank you so much!

    Niamh
