Are vehicles with the 22rte readily available? Or would anyone with a full rte setup be interested in a trade for a 350 chevy with 300 miles?

 

Put a 2L-II Toyota Diesel in there...

 

and cry as the guys with the 3.0 pass you like you're standing still on the highway.

 

They already do that, dont need to swap anything in.

 

Then laugh as you crawl right by them on the trail and get 15 more miles per gallon.

 

I had a tuff time finding a decent used 22RE. The good ones were priced way to high to bother with and the cheap ones were in need of rebuilds anyway. That's why I decided just to rebuild it myself.

I don't know what you have into your 350 but if it is built, you should be able to get more than enough for it to do a really nice rebuild job on a 22RE. You may even get enough to buy a long block. There is a place locally here that sells them for a little over $1600. That includes a 3 year 100,000 mile warranty. The warrenty even includes $40/hr labor to swap it if something happens. Plus they drop ship right to your house.

 

I would say go for a 1KZ-TE... But they run about $4000-$5000.

Probably the best option is a 7/5M-GE swap.

 

Okay, I have to ask about the Avtar???

Hey take a look here, this sounds to me like a great engine, if you're willing to make the investment....
