newbie?
I am new to the site but have been reading al the forums for awhile GREAT ADVISE!!!I have a couple of ?'s if you guys could help me with would be great.I am looking to buy a 1st gen 4runner there are two in my area 1st is a v6 with 235k miles,2nd is 22re with 197k both are 5 speed.I am look @ replacing ethier motor or rebuilding because I need reliablity.Would i be better off going with the v6 and swaping to the 3.4 or the 22re and going to the 3rz verses total rebuilds.

22re is a better engine!!
and way relible... i would keep it..
if you end up with a v6 then swap but its cost money..
22re can hold its own and the 3rz is nice bu tthe money could be used on other stuff,,,
i would dd or trail rig a 22re anyday.. my favorite engine good for 300-400 thousand kms easy if build and maintained proper
v6 3.0 is harder to work on and has head gasket issues...as ISNT a 22re

Dude.. ...
I think you would be told 22re by almost every person on here.
its got much less miles than the 3.0...
I bought my 3.0 with 240,000 and it just kinda went out. 258,000. but never opened up before for any internal work.
IM about to venture on a 3.4 swap, and i think that would be a great choice.
But the 22re/3rz are supposed to be great as well..
I don't think you could go wrong either way.

V6 verses 22re
I would like to thank you guys for the replies on my ?'s.Sorry if I posted in the wrong place.Well I ended up with the 3.0,the 22re guy backed out after I had went to the bank to get the money for the truck.I will try to post a couple of pics when I get a chance.Now it it is time to start gathering the parts I will need for the 3.4 swap.I will be asking a lot of ?'s so hope you guys will be patient.
