how much trouble would it be to swap out an 22re for a 3vze? my 4 banger quit on me, but it's in better shape than my v6 wich is not in that bad of shape itself.(4runners). the 4cyl. is an 86 and the v6 is 89 and runs like a champ even w/197,000 miles on it. should I even bother?

 

welcome to yotatech... cheaper/easier to rebuild the 22re

 

has anyone ever used this site www.toyotacarpart.com cheapest engines I could find. I found some threads for swapping out the engines and trannys and it sounds like to much trouble. Gonna buy or rebuild the 22re.

 

www.engnbldr.com has the best parts

 

rebuild, or buy a new 22re. You'll be glad you did. 22re will last you longer if you take care of it. Its also alot better on aftermarket parts, easier to get more % of hp out of it than the 3 slow.

 

You'll need to swap out the tranny if you go ahead with the 4 to 6cyl swap. I would stick with the 22RE and either fix it or drop in another one. I've had both engines and the 4cyl is by far much easier to work on.

22RE is better on mileage and much easier to work on.

 

The answer you will get here is: no.

 

thanks for all you input, sounds like i'm gonna save myself a headache and fix or buy another 22re...c-ya!
