22R to 3.0 swap, is it worthwhile?

I am looking at swapping a little stronger motor into by 85 and have an opportunity for a complete 3.0 out of a 93 4 runner. Is it even possible to mate this to the 5 speed in my truck, and is the motor even worthwhile? Any help would be great. Thanks.

More trouble than its worth. At the very minimum you would need new trans/transfer, motor mounts, harness and ecu from the V6.
