So, I just picked up a "lowered" Toyota 2WD truck. A co-worker sold it to me for $500 because he was in desperate need of cash fast, and I figured that I could part it out for at least that much. The frame in the rear has been cut and re-welded to be lowered and still clear the rear axle. Front is extremely low. Paint is primer light blue. Wheels are 18" chrome with low-profile tires. No rear shocks, no front springs.
But, the 22R engine has been well built and just screams. Supposedly it has a 20R head on a 22R block. Is this even possible or feasable?
4 speed manual. Nice bucket seats from an Eclipse, nice audio system. Big 'ol tach, big 'ol B&M shifter, Grant steering wheel.

I'm not sure what to do with it. I have no idea what a lowered mini-truck is worth.

1. I could use the engine in my '84 Toyota 4x4, and sell the truck w/o engine as a "race truck".
2. I could try to part out the whole thing.
3. I could try to sell the thing as-is.

Does anyone know anything about this kind of thing? Are they worth anything?
Any advice is appreciated.

 

I would honestly give you about $1000 max for it.

 

20R head will fir on the 22R and supposedly flows better. No personal experience though with it.
