ok if your an engineer could you help me i have a 88 toyota 4x4 but when i got it the people said it had a 22re in it. we only paid 1200 so we got what we paid, my question is it has 1979 20r motor how would i swiich the wiring and mounting back to 22r or 22re.and where can i find the cheapest 22r carburated motor?

 

Your gonna have to swap in a 22r or re. As fair as cheapest. Well...you get what you pay for

 

Are you sure its a 20r? I know you can swap a 20r head onto a 22re block for better compression. Is it carbuerated or does it have EFI?

 

its carburated and it has a 20r distributor so i guess thats what it is. and also the 4th cylinder is not firing trying to figure that out to

 

Oh ok was just throwin that out there ha. Thats pretty odd wonder why someone would swap in a 20r.

 

probably the only motor they had do you know anywhere i can get a cheap carburated motor anywhere

 

Well a brand new 22r will run probably run you anywhere from 1000 to 1500. But there's usually always something on craigslist

 

Regardless of 22r or RE there the same exact engine from 85 up to 95 if its a laser block. I have a really good 22RE engine but I'm in WV. It has about 127,000 on it from a 94 pickup. I also have a carbed intake and weber carb that can go with it. I'm asking 600 for it all.

If I don't come up with enough money for a brand new engine and it don't sell then its going in my 93 that I just hydro locked. Lol. I do a whole of traveling from state to state so I'd really like a brand new engine for my truck.

 

Would you be able to atleast meet halfway if i can get it im in SC thats a really good deal.

 

Are you sure about that? Isn't there difference in pistons, one domed and the other not.
common to put a 20r head on early 22r's but not 22re's(except maybe early injected celicas)

 

I believe youre right about putting them on 22r's not re's. My mistake sorry about that haha

 

I bet you have a 20r head on a 22re block. Pretty common thing that a lot of folks did for performance and reliability reasons... Definitely look into that before you drop $ needlessly...

 

Check craigslist

 

yea i have heard that alot but when we was get the distributor cap and rotor button it was for a 79 20r. so could any explain how i can figure all that out

 

Post a picture of your engine.

 

well my computer wont let me upload pics if you tell me what to look for ill tell you?
