A 4.3 riding on 410's might get better mileage than these 22re's.

 

oh no, what happen to the motor now?

 

Oh boy.... sorry to hear, but at least you're doing A FULL REBUILD(minus what you already have new), .....right?

Watching and wishin the best, man!

 

Motor was just as bad as before.

And yes full rebuilt this time. Going to take the block into machine shop to get it check and probably get a kit from engnbldr. I was talking to ted these pass couple of week and received GREAT information

 

Just the thought of 4.3L makes my wallet shiver haha

 

Ok I got news!!! Took my block into machine shop finally! Turns out its a bad block? Weird it was running perfectly before. O well. Found a new block for 50 buck off Craigslist that I'm going to rebuild before installing it but to other news look what I just picked up


88 v6 auto sr5. Just going to sale it when I'm done fixing it. I'm more of a 4 cylinder guy.

 

Wow, nice score.... get it on the cheap?

KILL IT, VANG! Make sure you do it all the way this time, right? Have fun with that restore, too

 

Super cheap. 500 and it was mines. ALL MINES haha thanks chef

 

Honestly? You'll get that from the rims and bumpers if you part it out! Not saying you should.... but sometimes, parting these out(if most of it is in good shape other than motor) can yield you more! ORRRRRRRR, you could start building a long travel beast, ... just sayin! lol. Maybe slap a 3.4 in there, TC kit, Chevy63's in the rear, call it a day! lol.

 

that 4runner looks nice .. anymore pics , whats the inside look like any major dents .. wanna sell as is

 

Haha no just need a new cylinder head which I got car never been off road just to the lake for fishing (the pervious owner said) body is straight and interior is an 7 out of 10 just a crack on the dash and missing panel on the camper of I can remember that was the only pic I took the car is still at the shop and were not open till Monday I'll get more pic up for sure though o yea need a paint job also

 

from the picture it looks good, sounds like what's going on, on my end.

 

Went to pickup the block this morning and left fishing. Just got back and looked over the block not so sure if this Is an earlier block or something but the pistons have a cup/ring on top so what to do now maybe on the look for another block or what do you guys think? I read some forums saying these block won't fit later models Heads or maybe I'm going crazy here

 

that new runner looks good..

pull out the v6 and drop a 22re in!

 

Yea but I don't want to go through the whole California crap. Go get it bar and ect. Just slap on new head and look for a 22re down the road

 

Ok I know I promise some pic of the runner so here ya go. Not the best but it's ok



Silver molding bent on bottom of door
