Unless its a custom job, its not true. Assuming its a 22R engine, Yamaha sure as hell didn't design it. Yamaha built the 3SGE engine for the Toyota celica, but it wouldn't fit in the truck without serious mods, and why would you go DOWN in CID?
definiely sounds like some has their facts mixed up on this one.

thats funny. Reminds me of the time i saw a car advertised locally as
"1998 Toyota Camry- Power Everything, New Clutch, and Much More"
It was an automatic. Needless to say I didn't pay much attention after that.
