I know how you feel about having different heads off two motors, but as long as they are both the same and in good working order, it will be all good.
Hopefully this build get easier as time goes, Jeff

 

I wouldnt let the two different heads worry you. They will be ok. Overtime helps for parts, the never ending list.lol

 

Thanks Jeff, started this build because the 22R blow and then got another 22R. Well found a 4.3 V6, so now getting it together is the build, it is coming nicey but taking a lot of time. I am grateful for this web site Yota tech has help me I lot. You guys have been a life saver on my build thanks to all.

 

Well Terry, I know, my son is doing the build on the 4.3 so I only been taking it apart, he's got to put it together and the same with the tranny. But all is good just got to get it done, I miss driving my toy, it's been almost two years since its been on the road or off-road.....lol

I guess the hard part is wiring it up, I got the wire harness from the other toyota pickup that the 4.3 came from but the cable was cut, so solder time after the engine is the toy

 

I know what u mean! Been bout that long for me too... kinda depressing lol

 

Well after looking at all you guys w/4runners, I said my next project will be one..

my son found the above 22RE 4runner, it was hard not to pass up. $300.00

The 4runner has a blown automatic transmission, so I will change it to a manual, as I have 2 of them seating around.

I pickup the 4Runner Friday, will post more pic later...

 

Sweet,ill give ya 500$ lol.Nice pick man.

 

Wow, instant dislike!!!! Beautiful runner. Bout to do the same swap with my longbed

 

Thanks, the guy was going to junk it, I saved it from the Crasher.

 

Glad to hear you saved it from the crusher. Really enjoy having the top off during the summer. Looking forward to your build on this. Congrats.

 

Thanks Terry, I look at yours and get a lot of ideas.
Pick it up early evening and got into the garage before the wife got home, it's a Yota thing she would not understand. Transmission is gone so it's a manual swap, pic tomorrow. I am a happy

 

Have fun adding a pedal!

 

It should not be hard....right?

 

Started a build thead on the 89 4runner https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f199...uildup-250614/

 

So I checked out your bed.How much did you cut off?I have been toying with bobing my bed,but dont know how well it will work being an ex cab.

 

The bed is 6 foot long, on the normal truck. Unless you got the long bed. I took 12 inches off from the rear section, that should work for you, I'll post more picture of the Bobed bed later.....

 

Just checking in and seeing which one you were working on this weekend. Weekends just dont last long enough. Hope all goes well with no hang ups.

 

Hey howthings going with the motor? Any progress or does the other yota have the lead now? Jeff

 

Jeff, the V6 4.3 is out of my hands for the time being, like to get this one done but the 4runner is for the time something to do...thanks..Bill

 

Yeah, I hear you with the (out of my hands) I got that going on to with my 350.. No not for my yota but my work truck three weeks and counting, but if I wanted to pay more it could be ready sooner....
