3.0 into 2.4 swap/cost?

Got the chance of a very cheap 2nd gen 2.4 thats thrown a big end and I was thinking of just putting a recon 3.0 in it instead of repairing the 2.4 (given the head issues with the 2.4's)
Is this a fairly basic swap, ie, just find a 3.0 and get it slapped in or will I need to change other things and how much is it likely to cost?
How easy is it to get hold of a decent/recon 3.0 surf motor?
Any help/advice would be much appreciate!
cheers

been there, done that

i dopped the 1KZ-T in my Pickup, altho the need was greater than yours as the pickups only have a (dog slow)2.4D and mine spun an end shell!

Nevs right tho...you do need the whole 9 yards to go with it...so it best to get a donor truck..and if you go that far...you might as well buy a decent 3.0TD and break the 2.4TD for spares...

sorry i couldnt be of more help

yeh, I think the conversion idea is deffo out the window now heheh, if I can find someone to do it cheap enough ill buy this non-runner and a fresh motor, or hang around for a cheap enough runner ..on a bit of a low budget tbh!
