I have '90 4Runner with the 22re that has blown the head gasket. Rather then rebuilding a motor that has 190,000 miles on it I found a motor locally at salvage yard with 29,000 original miles on it and nabbed it. Motor looks really clean and had 145-150 lbs on all cylinders for the compression test. Its an 85 from a Dolphin (Toyota motor home thing). The motors appear identical except for the oil pan which will be swapped and maybe the oil pumps/pickups too. While I have the motor out I'll be replacing all the small stuff. Water pump, cap, rotor, plugs, wires, belts, hoses, etc.

Would you all be in general agreement that I should take all the sensors along with intake manifold injectors and TB off my current motor and install them on the salvage yard motor? Also, does any one know of any differences between the 22re put in the RVs and our 4wd motors that I'm not seeing? Did they run a hotter cam from the factory in these or are they simply the same motor?

 

is it a carbed motor?

 

No their both EFI

 

I think there is a difference in the radiator & hose mounting, 4wd have three hoses (one is a 90* hose below the PS pump) and the 2 WD only use two hoses,

 

u should picked up the whole camper chassie and made a 4x4 dully log truck out of it.. or just a 4x4 camper..

 

Ill have to take a second look... I hope not but if they do ill probably just go back for the radiator.

 

Ill pass. I have my eye on a similar project but that's some time away to say the least. For now the pop up will work

 

i wanna get one of those campers so i can make it a daily driver to work.. and just play a video game of just take a nap out in the parking lot..
