It's a right hand drive, probably from overseas. You can see the steering shaft going down the right side of the engine. The brake booster is on the right hand side, as well as the distributor cap. It's not a 22RE. Toyota made many different 4 cylinder engines.

looks like a 4Y-E or something of that nature. they were used in the old toyota vans we had here, but they are still in production in forklifts.
not a lot of horsepower, but if my memory serves right, i saw a power graph of a newer model one on one of toyota's web sites, and it had something like 160lbs of torque! not bad for a 2.2l engine with 70hp.
they're a lot different than a 22R or 22R-E -- rather than an overhead cam design and hemi-style valve arrangement, they are a pushrod engine like an american V8, with shaft mounted rockers and inline valves.

Yeah, horsepower is a pretty cool unit. The origin is 1 horsepower = the amount of "work" an average horse could do in 1 minute. "Work" was measured in this case as an amount of weight lifted to a certain height (don't recall what the weights and height were).

personally i think the metric system should have just kept the same units and made them divisible by 10(e.g. metric foot = 10 metric inches). but then again, it was those silly french that came up with it.
