Got my hands on a v3300 out of a 500amp welder, as I'm sure most already know there is little to no info on this as a swap of any kind.
Not sure if its even reasonable to try and swap this engine. Currently thinking about single or compound turbos with fuel economy as the main goal.
Have a stock 97 4runner or a 98 Tacoma on 05+ ford 1 tons, linked etc, 4runner work be all about economy the tacoma would need some decent power to be worth it as the 190hp 3.4L lives at limiter.
That or make a big home generator .
Stuff I've figure out so far.
The spring that came in the governor of the V3300-EBG cranked will do 2200rpm, found a near match on McMaster-carr (3832N11) hopefully with more spring tension (haven't measured the current ones tension)
Removed flywheel and adapter plate, crank has 7, yes 7 M12X1.25 bolts V3300 crank V3300 adapter plate
A few things to keep in mind when making this swap:
Compatibility: Make sure the Kubota V3300 engine is compatible with your vehicle (97 4Runner or 98 Tacoma). Use specialized resources, forums, or contact professional mechanics for more information on compatibility and potential problems.
Adaptation: Replacing an engine involves adapting various components and systems of the vehicle to ensure proper operation and compliance. This may include modifications to the cooling system, exhaust system, fuel system, electronics, etc. It is recommended that you contact professional mechanics or specialized workshops that are experienced in such projects.
Turbocharging: If your main goal is to save fuel, then using a turbocharger can be a good option. However, you need to pay attention to proper engine tuning and programming to ensure that the turbocharger combines properly with your vehicle and achieves the desired fuel economy.
Parts and components: Make sure you have access to the necessary parts and components to install your Kubota V3300 engine. Check the availability and affordability of adapter plates, cranks and other required components, as well as the cost to purchase them.
Does the V3300 use the same bellhousing adapter pattern as the other v series? Like the V2300 and V2400. Then you can use Kubotaswapper parts and save time.
I wish, the 3300 is quite a bit bigger than the 2L size engines.
Haven't looked at the swap for many months working on a ZB600 swap in a 310 skid steer.
Hopefully can look at it again soon.

Hidden Info
Swapping a Kubota V3300 engine from a welder into a 4Runner or Tacoma is a challenging project due to the lack of readily available information, and its feasibility depends on your fabrication and automotive skills. To optimize for fuel economy, a single turbo setup is more advisable than compound turbos, but it will still require custom work for engine mounts, exhaust, cooling, transmission adaptation, and electronics to make it work seamlessly with your chosen vehicle. For the 4Runner, prioritize economy, while for the Tacoma, the engine can provide a significant power boost to the 190hp 3.4L, but it's important to manage this additional power with a robust transmission and drivetrain upgrade.

After more looking I found the easiest option is the 1KZ-TE near bolt in, but costly.
Main problems with this swap are,
-7 bolts in the crank don't allow for an adapter. Need to have a new flex plate built A340 with 7 bolt holes.
-the starter is on the opposite side and the oil filter and cooler are in the opposite clocking.
-Tacoma/4runner have the exhaust run down the passenger with the driver shaft on the drivers, the exhaust manifold is on the drivers side of this engine.
-Along with all the other stuff, power steering, vacuum, oil pan/pick up and the list goes on.
The 1KZ is almost identical to the v3300 in size, 2982cc vs 3318cc. but with some very hard to work around problems.
