Recently came up on a Chevy v-6 vortex engine with 80,000 miles. Comes with all the computer chips and such.

I currently have a 22-r rebuilt jasper engine in my 83 Toyota 4x4. Is this a good swap??

I have priced out a conversion kit through Advanced Adapters at about $1,200. How much of these parts can I salvage/ need to buy? Any other possible information regarding this swap would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

 

sounds like it could be good swap;

its really a personal choice. i swapped a fuel injected chevy motor into my jeep, but i would not do it to my toyota. my needs are different for each vehicle. if you decide its right for you, go for it. i would enjoy watching the swap.

btw, it is a vortec, not vortex. make sure you get the donor vehicle in front of you so you have the complete wire harness and ECM in front of you to swap over and adapt to your toyota harness. there are little things that can get left behind if you have someone pull everything and give you a pile of parts.
