since i cant get a loan 4 a new truck im gonna take out a smaller loan 2 fix my truck 1986 toyota sr5 with a 20r......im gonna take off the bed n level the frame with wood and take a sheet of metal i bolt it down after i bob the frame alittle.....motor wise i no it needs an ignitor and the carb needs rebuilt....i meet a guy with a 22r with a small holly carb n said it runs good and got an adapter plate for sum website....what would you think of a holly on a 20r??? and im gonna do the clutch also since it slips....... so do u think holly or should i go another route......

 

86 with a 20R? You sure it's not a 22R? Unless it was swapped in, that shouldn't be.

The Holley 2 barrel is a knock off of the Weber 2 barrel. Weber sold them the rights to produce a version, and form everything I've heard they work very well. Not quite as easy to tune as a weber, but still head and shoulders above the stock Aisin

 

SHOULD be a RE but the post says its has a 20r swapped in. In my opinion, if your taking a loan out, get a rebuilt longblock or rebuild yours and put a weber conversion on it. A properly maintained yota will last as long as you want it. I have the Weber conversion and I love it, much easier to tune, and MUCH MUCH less complicated.

 

well after i posted this n headed to work i ran into a prob after my post......a short.....my blinkers wont work my gas, charge, temp , and oil press gauge wont work either.....

 

It could be either a 22R or 22RE. I wouldn't think it would have a 20R. Those were the motors that were available in the early 80's trucks. The 22R was still available until around 1990 I believe although the EFI is more popular.

A long block is pretty expensive. I was pricing them out a while back and they seem to run about $1600 without installation and that's not a factory motor. It may be worth it of you're rebuilding the truck but if you're looking to only get a couple of years out of it until you can afford a newer one then you might want to consider looking at other older Yotas that have good rinning motors that you can use for parts.

Start looking at your fuses for the short.

Good luck.

 

the 20r is out of a 80 but i no wat fuse it is its the engine fuse or atleast the cover on it says engine so i just put in a bigger fuse 4 now 2 get my buy till i can fix it......and im willing to take a chance on burning crap up cuz im trying 2 get rid of it......i found a 97 tacoma for 6900 with the 2.7 and 5sp 4wd with roll bar...is that kinda pricy?

 

I'd jump on that deal.
