Folks, I purchased a old truck that sits on a Toyota drive train. I am trying to identify the engine but I cannot locate a serial number. I attached some photos hoping someone may be able to direct me in the proper direction. Thankyou!
Thank you very much!!! The body is a 1955 Willys Pickup. Person I bought it from knew nothing about the truck. It was done when he bought it. It is having a fuel issue so would like to find out a few things before I start looking into solutions.
Oooooo fun, well, not knowing what was done and how things were put together it may be difficult to troubleshoot but it’s not impossible, if you search your symptoms on here when a 22re is involved you can pick at it from there. Start with the simple stuff first

What are your issues???
Symptoms are: it's hard to start. Cranks good but doesnt fire. If I leave ignition on for a bit it will finally fire, almost like the fuel pump isn't pushing fuel quick enough. Once running it will idle but when I give it throttle it sputters. It will pull itself along but not very well. I feel its starving for fuel but I just started to try and diagnose the issue.
That’s pretty cool. I cant tell from the photos what year 22re but there are ways based on the injector connectors and idle air control valve and throttle body. I’d look closely at the way they had the air fuel meter plumbed to the throttle body to make sure no vac leaks.
that looks like an early 22re engine, with the angled-down throttle body, and taking a wild guess, those hoses laying on the heat shield over the exhaust manifold(ouch) could be a 4wd-only option for idling up the engine(??), i thought that was only on solid front axle trucks tho... if you have access to other toyota parts let us know, because you can bolt on some stuff and improve on the early 22re... that ex53 ignition module is apparently still out of stock, so if you can find another one grab it... worst case is go to a junkyard and get one now, if it fails the truck will not run: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...89341&jsn=1106
it looks like a jeep body swapped onto a toyota frame? toyota didn't put vin numbers on the frame back then, so the vin should probably be on the jeep, aka it's old so no smog needed in california.
as melrose indicated, that tape all over the intake is sketchy, i'd pull it apart and look for leaks.
you can pull a hose on the plenum and squirt some starting fluid into the plenum, if the engine is cold and it fires immediately you know it's a cold-start fuel problem... there is a cold start injector on the side of the plenum, if you pull the connector off(don't lose the wire!!), you can troubleshoot it.

one other thing... the ecu on that jeep is mounted on the engine side of the firewall, but the factory install is inside the cab, where it won't get rusty... it's already starting to rust on the mounting screw area.
if you are going to keep it where it is, maybe put a large heavy-duty plastic bag over it, to keep the moisture out.. i'd keep it real loose and wide open on the bottom, because i'm not clear on how hot the ecu gets.
