Have you considered a diesel swap? I'm about to start one in my 92 Yota next weekend. I'm getting a 3.0L 4 cyl Turbo Diesel and its Toyota. It pulls just about the same as the 3.4 and gets better mileage and diesels were made for crawling. An even easier swap for diesel would be whats called a 2LTE which is a 2.4L 4 cyl Turbo diesel that will bolt to your factory mounts and then you would need to deal with wiring. It has more torque than the 22RE and will get quite a bit better mileage. And they are not that bad for price either. My motor and tranny and everything came to 4200 shipped and the smaller 2LTE would be cheaper than that. And you get everything you need to swap it out. Then you will have torque. And if 230 lb ft at 1800rpm isnt enough then you could put an intercooler on and exhaust and boost it up to more than that. Just another idea. My 92 needed a motor as the V6 has 242k miles on the clock and is dead for the most part so I'm getting power, longevity, and I'll do well at the pumps.
