so i have a 87 4runner with a 22re that is my DD and i dirve on a highway everyday. the 22re is a litttle tired and doesnt have enough umph for me an i dont see the benifit of putting money into it again when i have come across a 350/th350/np205 combo for cheap. to do this swap i have picked up an 83 solid axle and i have found the trailgear 5"hd sas kit
so my questions are 1. will this support that heavy 350 without it taking a nose dive? 2.am i gonna have huge body roll on the road? 3. will i be disapointed with this spring engine combo even though these springs anr "made" for v8 swaps?

thanx

 

you should have no trouble I have a sbc in my 86 xcab with the only thing is it's alot simpler with a body lift as it gives more room for exhaust and other stuff

 

trail-gear has came out with a recent heavy-duty spring set. they have the hd 5'' springs that will handle heavy v6's and sbc's. you will have alot more body roll with this lift kit. an easy way to counter the roll is to fab up some sway bars for the front.
