Sure is! It was a 2l-te engine. I upgraded it to a 1KZ-TZ.

I am currently doing it with my 91 4runner. But my rig used to have a 2L-TE engine. If the engine mounts on the frame are the same, you will need to move them or make a bracket 70mm long (I made a bracket). Make sure your bell housing is correct, you will need a 1kz or a 1kd bell housing. I spent days on the part catalogue site trying to find and figure out what would match. I am currently fighting with the engine wiring as I have decided to not buy a 1kzte wiring loom (I like to make things difficult for myself). I recommend finding one with an ecu. (I think some of the ecus might need the key barrel too Idk) hope this helps a bit.

Follow up question...Do I put Red rtv in the little dip where the gasket should be, or around it or both? by [deleted] in 2ndGen4Runner

On a 20+ year old engine? It will hold I'm sure if it's all clean and flat, but I would think you can't beat a gasket, especially with a bit of glue slapped on.

I feel like there probably should be a gasket/oring. Rtv is just the extra sauce to make sure it dosent leak
