ive got 185,000 on my 85 22re and looking to retire it soon...what kind of engines can i put in my 4runner and is there any v6's that will bolt right in with minor mods?

 

keep the 22, and turbo it, 185, thats still a baby

 

185,000 miles? Was your last truck a Ford?!?!


Nah I'm kidding. But seriously, I've heard stories of these things lasting beyond 500,000 miles before needing a rebuild.

 

185K... that thing is worn out. Would you drop it off at my place?

 

s/c 3.4L ?

 

Good one. Its good to see people blast fords on here rather than just jeeps all the time.

As for the man with the 185,000 miles 22-R: That thing is just broken in, but if you must junk it in favor of something with a little more power, and a couple more cylenders, downey, and a couple other toyota companies have kits for a chevy 4.3 v-6, or a 3.8 buick v-6. If I had the choice, I might go with the buick, because they make supercharged versions of that motor that can be had pretty cheaply at the junkyard, or just look for a mid-late 90's Park Avenue thats getting parted out, and bingo, yer set for 35" tire burnouts.
