3.0 to 22r or 22re
The only way you can bolt a 4cyl to the 3.0 tranny is a bellhousing swap. Now it gits complicated you must have a tranny in your V6 truck that was also offered in a 22rte the turbo model. I had luck because my truck was an 88 and they offered a 3.0 and a turbo 22r in those trucks therfore they had the same tranny. I was informed that this is a rare accurance. But all you need to do is put a tranny that is compatable w the 22r. The wiring on the other hand is got me going crosseyed Good luck

3.0 to 22r
not done w my swap yet. the tranny will work u just need a 22r turbo bellhousing. motor mounts will have to b cutom cause no one makes anything for this application. The wiring is the worst of it. u need to leave the computer as a juction box then find hot wires as u need. u will need a coil and igniter for a 4 banger. or u can put a GM elect ignition custom built for around $400 good luck let me know how u do.

22RE to 3VZE swap
Motor mounts are very different, if you dont believe, then go ahead and drop a new engine in there so I can laugh at you. Radiator is different, shroud is different, power steering lines are different, ac lines are different, tranny is different, fuel lines are all different, have a good time with that, I rip out 4 cylinders and put in V6's, done three so far, never been happier with a rig since the 22re was out of them, more power, more reliable, easier for me to work on but then again I am a mechanic.

The swap is not that hard if you know a little about swaps and have the ability to see the project to the end. Really its just a matter of moving the mount brackets and getting to work. No big deal.
The v6 is great but everyone overlooks the 22re. I wouldnt trade mine for any motor. Not a powerhouse but the truck doesnt really need a alot of power anyway. This engine is super reliable, and gets 24mpg easily. Plus it can pull the trucks GVW no problem. Just takes some patience.
But if you just need more power compare a 22r to a 2jzgte. Yeah, its pretty much the same block with 2 less cylinders. A 22re with forged pistons can hold 500hp. 1000hp on full build. Point is, its a great engine, more than capable. The 3VZE is great as well but the 22r is the original G, timeless straight 4 engine.
If i needed a more powerful truck id go 22re turbo to R series manual or automatic. Too bad that 22RTE bell housing is so hard to find.

not an expert of 4 to 6 swaps but im pretty sure the frame mounts need to be moved. Easy enough though, cut em out, drop the swap in, line up the tranny and drive shaft, and weld the brackets in where they fall.
