Issues

I have a 1986 4runner with a 22RE. Well with over 250,000 miles on her it spun #2 rod bearing yesterday . And the crank got scared up too. And here is my question. I have a friend that has a re-manufactured 22R that came out of his 1983 toy pickup that i can get for $300. Im pretty sure it'll work. And i believe the only big deal to the swap is changing two bolts on head with longer ones to bolt up my intake. Due to his is carb & mine is EFI. Ive been looking up other post on this. And im reading that my intake ports are different. Am i going to have this problem? Man i hope this isnt going to be a disapointment. This is my daily driver & i want my Yoti to run again ASAP. Just looking for someone to assure me that this is a good swap. Or is there something eles i dont know about? Thank you for your help.

'85-'95 22R/RE blocks/heads are interchangeable. Forget about the '83!

Thanks for the info. Ive called so many peaple trying to find a motor that my ear could fall off. Im about to put a 305, 700r4, & get a adaptor for my yota case and start cutting, welding & get this done. And ive also got a 1989 4.3 motor on hand too. Theres alot of info on these swaps in here. Again thanks, and norcalsvx awsome info. Im going to print that out for future ref. Later...
