Well not just the specs on the block, haha, I could've gone on their website for that. I mean, what kind of things did you do to it? Just left it as is? Even stock ignition? Which camshaft did you get? Did you stick with stock compression, higher, lower? Any plans to turbo? Oversize valves?
LCE stage 5 long block sells for $7,500... so you paid $5,500 for the motor and no pics of anything? I just expected someone to have spent that much wouldn't have stopped there, looks pretty stock under your hood, with the exception of headers. How well does the block brace fit in there, is it a lot of work modifying the motor mount? I've always wondered what one of those long blocks could do. Considering you have the brace, you're clearly above the 200hp range.
Please, can you take some other photos or maybe a video? Has it been on a dyno? Any numbers or anything? I'm very curious what kind of power that kind of motor would make, a stroker no less! I just installed a new 22R-TE in my 4Runner and have been interested in anything 22RE tech.
Some SAS details would be nice too, you also weld for your living?

All I did beside the motor was install their bomb proof motor mounts with their pro motor mount bushings and bought a new OEM trans mount. No dyno. Ignition was stock, but i had the MEAN GREEN starter and alternator.
Suspension:
ALL PRO 6" SAS kit
Gears:
5;29s F/R lockrites F/R LONGs F stock rear Front HP
Tcase:
duals Stock F 4.7s R
Armor:
Homemade front stinger pipe bumper
Homemade boxtubing sliders

5 35/12.5/R15 GOODYEAR MTRs 1st gen
Exhaust:
Flomaster 40 Series 2.50 header back
Nothing more special, just built to wheel and drive home with the family.
Welding is the only thing that I don't do, that I shoud start learning how to do. My friends all weld and with some HEINEKENs and wheeling after, nothing better than that.
I really don't like breaking or fixing thing on the trail, so thats why i over kill on some things. Sure I still bring my extra parts and tools, but just don't like to wrench when I have my family with me.
Here's some pix, but I don't have pix with the duals installed. I did the duals 6 months after the build.

Nice 4RNR! Very clean.
That 3-tone RNR in the 1st pic looks IFS to me... Sure it's an '85?

Your eyes are not deceiving you. All & all the white V6 is a clean 1. You rarely find those jems. I've only come across them from the garage kept 1st owners.

That looks great, Chris. How do you like those Rigids underneath? That's about where I've got mine mounted, but I haven't gotten around to wiring them up yet.

I love them. I only use the lower pods to light the edges of the trail. You can't really see in the pic they are aimed out wards. If you haven't used LEDs before be prepared to fall in love like you did with your runner. And it even makes your rig better if you can believe that
