I have this Engine... 20R

Hi all, I have a question...

About 1991 I bought an old beat up TR7 and was told that a good project would be to put a Toyota 20R in it. I found one for sale... it was a 1980 I don't remember if it was a 2.2 or 2.4... (Long story short...))

I had the enging fully rebuilt including boiling and polish etc. at a professional engine shop here in Las Vegas. I had the Carbourator rebuilt, It has everything on it including ball bearing starter alternator etc, and Manual Transmission. with new clutch pressure plate etc.

I never went ahead with the project. I never put oil in the engine... it has been sitting created in my garage for 13 years.

It it worth anything?

My wife wants the garage cleaned out..
If it would be worth selling I am sure I have the paperwork from the shop to go with it. and could take some pictures.

I really don't know if people even use these anymore. I don't see them listed... only 22R's.

Should I sell it? Part it? Toss it?

I remember I paid some $700.00 back in 1991 to have the work done,and another $100 for the Carb.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Alan

Dude when i blew up my 22R in my truck and had to replace it it cost me $1200. that was almost a year ago, so as long as yours is still good its worth some cash.

for what it's worth, the 20R engine is equal to or better than the typical 22R engine in all ways except displacement. however, there isn't much demand for them any more, since most vehicles with them have been or in the process of being driven into the ground. i have one in my truck, but i'm currently building a 22R to replace it, as it has over 300,000 miles on it

i'd say you'd probably be able to get $500 for it seeing as what's been done to the motor
