Recently came up on a Chevy v-6 vortex engine with 80,000 miles for free! Comes with all the computer chips and such.

I currently have a 22-r rebuilt jasper engine in my 83 Toyota 4x4. Is this a good swap??

I have priced out a conversion kit through Advanced Adapters at about $1,200. How much of these parts can I salvage/ need to buy? Any other possible information regarding this swap would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

 

I have seen a couple 4.3 swaps and peolpe say they love them and they were worth the trouble and money cost wise. Heres a couple 4.3 swaps with tons of info

If you do the swap I would be interested in the 22re if you are going to sell it What kind of miles on it?

 

Do it. You can save alot of money by fabbing some of the stuff yourself. Personally I would go with a GM tranny and adapt the Tcase to the tranny.

I have done a few of theses swaps and they are quit easy. Don't let anyone tell you different. 5 wires and the motor runs great, hook up a few more and all your gauges and other crap works.

It seems you have a working 22R, that could pay for the whole swap, or just keep the 22.

 

vortec, not vortex

 

i have a 2003 vortech v6 and im going to swap it with my 22re... whats a common thing to do to retain emmisions... do people run the gm fuel tank in the toyota or modify the fuel tank to fit the gm pump
