finally killed the 85 p/u, I was kinda starting to think that it would never die. I overheated it then continued to drive it and eventually threw a rod thought the side of the engine block. Kinda awesome to see but I was just wondering if anyone had a recommendation of wtb a new 22re.

 

depends if ya wanna go new or j/y... good luck finding one in a yard. engnbldr.com is your best bet for new.

 

Ok you overheated it and continued to drive and cant believe it died:bigclap:

 

I pretty much was just pushing it trying to get it off the trail. had a bunch behind me and was holding the group up. o well. suck because i new it was needing to be rebuilt because the bearings sounded awful but now i just gotta decide what im gonna do.

 

1UZ-FE! :-) UZSwap.com

 

I bet it'll still run

Where's the clip of the two North easterners who destroyed the 22R on camera?

Kidding aside, I'd do another 22R...plug and play.

 

Yea, I rememebr that.

You have a few choices now:
-keep with the 22r
-swap to a yota 3.4 or v8
-swap to the chevy 4.3L or 350 cu v8.

If I were me and I wanted to keep the cost down, go for plug and play man.

 

How much are you lookin to spend?
If prices wasn't and Issue I would go for the 1UZ-FE swap...
Or If you don't want that much power, Just do a 3.4L Swap...

If cost is an issue, just stick with plug and play...

 

Man too bad your not local.I have a block thats good and i have a 22re with 10k on the bottom end and less on the head that needs a timing cover. I had it up for sale for 250. I dont know what shipping would be but if you cant find anything id ship it. PM me if that happens.

Is the 1UZ the 4.5 Inline 6 from FJ80s?

 

as for price. I think ill stay with a 22r or re Im just trying to find out how much each will be. Unless its new im trying to stay under 600. Im having problems with a new one because many want a rebuildable core and as u can see mine is not.
