Off the Wall Question: Swap 3.0 for a 22RE

Would I be insane if I wanted to swap a 3.0 V6 for a 22R Carb? Built many a 22R in the 10 years I raced Yota's (hence the user name) and I have tons of notes on making them do crazy things.
The V6 in my truck is decent, but I really want a R motor in it. Its either the 22 or I'm going to build a 3VZ and see what I can get out of it.

If you really want a 22r truck, buy one. Lottsa headaches swapping from 3vz. Tranny won't cross, ect.

Look around on here and you'll find a thousand better projects than that. I like Millball's idea of trading down to an older truck and also Space-Junks 5VZ idea. I'm about to do one of those myself.

There is nothing stopping you from doing this swap.

It would for sure be a labor of love and a test of your fabrication skills .

Just why are you in love with the 22R?? You should know building the 22R is very expensive for every horse power gained

Building a 3VZ some might think your insane!!

Bored and you need something to get out of the house .

I tend to agree buy a 22R truck or really research the 3.4 swap
