How to tell what engine I have

Hey I just picked up a 97 tacoma in a trade. It has the 4 cylinder but I was wondering how I can tell if it's the 2.4 or 2.7. Call me new it's fine but I've never had a 1st get tacoma.

 

5 lug but the trucks not stock so the engine could have been changed.

 

Pics of it brother? And welcome in.

 

I'll check in a few

 

5 lug is almost assuredly 2.4L unless someone spent way more than necessary to swap the 2.7L in. 2.4L are cheap, if you blow one up almost every time another is put in because it costs so much more to get a 2.7L

 

I got some free time to mess with this bad boy today. Here is a picture of the engine

 

Ok so the pictures didn't go let me try this again

 

not sure if it's the same, the 2000+ 2rz 3rz engine stampings are right behind the alternator on the block. it should say right on it, 2rz-fe or 3rz-fe

 

"Not stock" was an under-statement.

With the aftermarket intake and headers, it may not be smog-able.

 

Purple frame and airbags?

 

Purple is going away as soon. As I get it running correct.

 

It's absolutely not smog able.

 

Air bags up front?

 

Complete front and rear. I got it in a trade. I need to build drop spindles so it completely lays out in the front then body drop it. I just need to get it running right first.

 

Put up some pics of the whole truck man, sounds cool. In an interesting kinda different way.
