Question about engine swaps!
Hey guys! Some of you might have heard that I rolled my 4Runner a month ago at Surf n Turf. I've been looking for a good 1st gen body for the past few months and I finally found a 87 4Runner body + frame!
Question 1: Since the body is already on a frame, can I put in my 86 22RE? (I mean legally, the 87 4runner has a clean title) because I have heard you cant put a older engine in a newer truck...
Question 2: The 87 4Runner had a 22RET turbo motor, will my motor, tranny, transfercase fit?
Thanks Guys!!

Thank you Roger!! I called a friend and he said he has to ask about the emissions problems I might run into. I think if the title is clean, I wouldnt need to go to a check up station. So the only thing im worrying about right now is when I get a smog check...
