Plan on getting this old 86 4runner with 22re blown headgasket

Im debating on rebuilding the 22re or going full retard and swapping a 4bt from an old bread truck i have.

Opinions

Anyone ever swap 4bt into an old Yota?

Pros, Cons.

LMK

Never done it but it's a cool swap.

Yeah everything i'm reading up about it, it seems fairly easy as long as you have the swap, clearances and what not seem like cake work

its been done before, do some searching on pirate 4x4.

just keep in mind you adding weight on the front end, so suspension is something youre going to want to look into, and braking as well.....


it is cool, yes and a good swap... but it is kind of a snow ball swap

Yeah, definitely doing SAS before i do the 4bt, I might wait down the road for it

Depends on what 4bt you have.

If it's an old mechanical injected 4bt it's a 1 wire swap and could be done very easy. The commonrail 4bt get's to be a wiring nightmare.

Just google for kits. There are quite a few companies making bolt/weld ready kits to swap these 4bt's into just about every 1/4ton pickup/SUV out there

Well looks like i'll have my work cut out for me haha, its commonrail

wow, it does look to fit about anything.

Found it in a Jeep....me likey!

Yeah it will definitely fit, I've read up on a couple builds, very minor things needed in order for it to work

I was thinking the block was a lot longer....prob' would be a beast 4runner!
