ive got a 79 pickup with the old original 20r and 4 speed . i have found a early 90s 4runner with a 5 spd tranny and 22re.

i also have a small block chevy 350 4 bolt main sitting on my shop floor.i have seen adapter plates to mate a 350 to a 5 speed tranny.

i am trying to figure out how much work it will be, what i will need to convert everything, does motor mounts and tranny mounts need to be changed for either swap?

any help or links to other threads would be great!

 

novak, advance adapters...read other threads in this folder.

 

where would i find these threaDS? tried to search it but nothing was showing up

 

Its possible to put the 350 but your going to need the ignition with it as well.

 

yes it is very possible to do. If I didn't want good milage I would be doing it too. read up here on yota tech and other places on the 350 swap.

 

Its a very simple swap mechanicaly the electrical side is all you should need help with.

 

I was thinking of doing this same swap (350 engine with a turbo 350 tranny), but all the good deals on these engines are too far away for it to be worth the cost. I have found quite a few 22RE's near where I live with the corresponding components. That is the most feasible swap for me to do. Ironically, my 1985 originally came with a 22RE, but someone who owned it before me decided to swap in an 80's Toyota diesel. I believe it is the 2.0, but I am not sure at the moment. Good luck on your swap though.

 

Hmm thinking about this swap as well. Engine from my dads 89 Chevy k2500
