22RE is showing head gasket symptoms. I have a Chevrolet 6.5TD and 700R4 sitting round the shop......

Is that engine gonna fit? Also, what would you need to do to your front suspension to hold that much more weight? Just new springs?

Do it!! Post lotsa pics!!

Well it is similar in size, shape, and weight to a small block... Its academic at this point I'll drive 22re till it sputters and dies.

So another 100k miles?

:snacker:

well, right... My rock crawler has had a rod knock for YEARS!

This is a common swap in Aussie into the cruiser. The 6.5TD is not a monster but it will propel my dually, trailer, and rock crawler down the highway at 80 MPH. While getting 10 to 18 MPG. So stands to reason it would spin my 31s pretty good.

Yeah, so, replaced radiator cap..... Not ready to swap yet.
