Will a 05 Tundra 4.7 fit in a 03 Tundra with a 4.7. Is there a simple way to get it to fit if it does not? I cannot believe that my crankshaft cracked with only 90,000 miles on the engine. I have a chance to get an 05 4.7 engine at a good price. I would appreciate any feedback.

It will fit and all components are the same, but I think the computers differ. I’d call Toyota or wait for a reply about this. Other than that you should be good to go! What kinda driving do ya do to crack the crank? That’s some hard driving bro

Toyota engine swap

I just got the truck so I dont know what kind of driving habits were involved. I called Toyota and all they said was they think no only 05-07 and 03-04,

I wish someone could give me a straight and confirmed answer. I would be in great shape if the 05 engine would fit in my 03. I just dont have the money to find another engine and for what people want for it. I am able to barter to get this engine. Thanks

Well considering that the 07’ is the new body style and some changes where made, that answer Toyota gave you was wrong. 2000 thru 2006 were all the same for the most part.
Why don’t you just get your crank replaced?

Look this is your best option, go to this site and ask your question, trust me;)

I was told it would be more work and money to do this. I have a guy I know willing to do the swap. He is very quick. I can get the engine to me for less than $600 and it only has 51,000 miles thats if it will fit in my 03 Tundra
 
BTW, it will fit, you may have to exchange some parts to conform to the later year, like fuel rail, intake etc., but it will fit. 2000 through 2006 are the same trucks. The bodies of them changed and some options, which leads me to believe that the computers may differ.

That is a great price man, jump on it. Worse come to worse you could sell it for twice that. I know this may take some time, but you will not find another deal like it.
 
This is what i found on a guy just asking to swap heads from an 05 to a 03

A pair of new heads...and the new exhaust manifolds they need. Definitely a new ECU that knows how to control the cam timing. However, the new ECU will only work with the new 5 speed transmission. So you'll need one of those too. The ECU will also need the new dual runner intake manifold. And the new ECU needs a complete new wiring harness to provide pathways to sense/signal the cam adjusters and intake manifold runner valves. It will probably also need installation of some new sensors. And since the VVTI mechanism depends on getting its pressurized oil flow from passageways drilled/cast into the block, you'll also need a new block and oil pump. And since both the new block and new heads are designed for the new pistons that are part of the bump in compression ratio, you'll also need new pistons, and probably also a new crank and connecting rods. You probably could keep your current oil pan though.



Soooo, basically you need an all new engine and all new transmission and all new ECU at a minimum. Plus the new wiring harness and sensors and other misc parts. At around $8000 retail for the engine, around $5000 for the 5 spd transmission, around $4000 for the ECU/harness/sensors, and around $4000 in skilled labor, you're looking at probably about $21000, maybe more for the job. Be a lot cheaper to just trade the truck for an '05.

Did you ever get this figured out? I'm curious....:confused:

Engine swap update

Sorry I missed this email regarding providing an update on the 2005 4.7 Tundra engine installed in a 2003 Tundra. It all went pretty well. Used the Intake manifold from the 2003 on the 05 engine. Vehicle started up but is running rough and when ever I would stomp on the gas the engine would die. I have to baby the gas gently to keep the truck going. Says that the Camshaft sensor has a problem. P0340

Is there anything that may have occurred during the install that may have affected this sensor? It is over $100 and I would rather be sure it is bad before throwing out another bill. In addition the starter stick on a good percentage of the time. Is there something that was forgotten or not replaced that is causing this starter to stick on? Any ideas on how to replace the sensor? Havent located it yet. Thanks
