I have a 1987 Toyota Truck with a Turbo engine. The head is cracked and I
have someone that is going to give me an engine from a 1987 (non-turbo)
truck. Will this engine fit in my truck seeing as mine is a turbo and the
transmission is for a turbo???
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob Rafferty
Yes - However the ECU, wiring harness and radiator are
different too. Believe the head would fit though --- and
keep all the other parts (suspect cam would need to be
swapped for turbo one too.

Is he giving you the entire working engine?
The transmission should work.
You might need to get some of the other parts with that engine, like
the intake manifold, fuel-rail, injectors/ air plenum, and the exhaust
manifold.
The wiring and ECU will be different as well as the radiator.
If the engine he is giving you is not fuel injected then your fuel pump
will need to be changed.
Fuel injected and turbo models run a high pressure fuel system.
Carbureted do not.
I may very well be wrong, but doesn't the transmission input shaft on a turbo
have a different number of splines than a non-turbo? A quick bit of net surfing
shows that they do not have the same transmissions. A Turbo has the r151f and
the non-turbo would have either the g54 or the w56.
Also I don't think the transfercases have the same inputs either although it is
perfectly likely that I am getting this all mixed up.
Add to that the utter disappointment you are going to feel when you hit the
accelerator pedal without the turbo and I think you would likely be better off
saving up and getting a replacement turbo head.
Just an opinion.

Good post.
If the Turbo does indeed have the R151F or R150F (this is what the
95.5-2004 Tacomas and 96-2003 4Runners use with the 3.4L V6), it
SHOULD have a different number of splines on the input shaft than any
of the W-series trannies, whether it be the W56 or the W59.
I'd say swap the heads and change the cams, keep the turbo engine,
it's a real gem.
