The two top bolts are impossible to get at unless you can change the angle of either the motor or the tranny side of the equation. The motor can tip down (requiring removal of motor mounts) or the tranny can tip down (requiring dropping the drivelines and crossmember). Some people have gone through the shifter hole. I've not tried that one.
Two top bolts are Difficult, but not impossible... You just need a long "wobble" extension, and of course, a lot of patience.

... and you can get it from the top.
And you realize the thread you revived is a year old?

Hey guys,
I've got some idiot first timer questions for who ever can help me. I've got an '86 4runner with a 22re that I hydro locked and its now toast. I've managed to pick myself up a '92 (I think) 4runner that was destroyed in a collision but still running which also has a 22re.
I've quickly discovered that my simple plan of swaping engines is in fact not so simple.
I had intended to pull the new engine with all its accesories (minus p.s. pump) and stick that into my 86. The wiring harnesses appear to have their differences which I'm not too concerned about, I'll just plug in what I need and ignore the rest (I'm planning on keeping the wiring in each original vehicle.) But whats got me really confused is the vaccume lines. No I haven't pulled them all off and lost track, but the new engine has more of them on the EFI, BUT my 86 has an extra "thing" (please forgive my lack of technical term) with a cable going to it and one vacume line off it. Also some of the lines that originate in the same place go to different locations.
I'M SOOOO LOST!
I just don't want to start pulling lines off and then spend a month wondering why my newly installed engine doesn't work anymore.
I'd really appreciate any help/advise/input that anyone could share with me. I've never done anything like this before but I can't afford to do it any other way. More importantly though, I want to learn.
Thanks.

I have an '86 4runner, and I put in a 22re out of a '94. Most of the vacuum lines are for emissions crap. (EGR valve, EGR valve vacuum modulator, air suction reed valve etc.......) The important one is the vacuum line for the fuel pressure regulator. Follow all the lines, find out where they go, then sit down with a haynes manual for a week and learn about it all till you figure out what it all is. If you don't need to pass emissions in your area, (like me
) your best bet is to haul all that crap off and make up some blanking plates. Think about it... dumping corrosive exhaust gas back into your intake is never a good thing, no matter how you slice it. Take your time... mark everything... best of luck.Mac

Abe and his fancy tools....
Yeah, I'd realized this later after I was looking at mine sometime after this thread. Even with my "less than fancy" tools, I could get to the bolts easier by removing the EGR. This may have more to do with my being a tad on the short side. 5'7 is kinda short, I guess. Oh well, I make up for it in coolness.
(off to the bubble bath.....)

What is "one of these"
Abe - I am also having problems with these bolts (no surprise) - what is the "one of these" that I need - there is no picture of anything there so I don't know what it is - but I would like to!
