Swap 3vze for 22r?

[Quakefire]

My 2nd gen 4runner has a dead 3.slow, I was wondering how hard it would be to swap in a 22r 4 cylinder (its an auto truck) and if it would be worth it? From what i've heard its a more reliable engine so I dunno, is it alot better than the 3.0?

If you swapped to a 22RE maybe, but a 22R probably not worth the trouble.

Also, the 6 cyl tranny (R150F) won't bolt up to the 22R/E, so you'd need the 4 cyl tranny/t-case.

Ya it would be a RE but this 3.0 is worthless in my truck, so its either finding a new 3vze and maybe having it cause trouble down the line, or a 22RE but is that engine a ton more reliable? or would I be wasting my time

well if you thought the 3.0 was slow wait till you till you loose the extra horses it puts out. If you're looking to go to the trouble of a motor swap look in to the 3.4's I know they make kits and it might save you the trouble of a transand t-case swap.

If you've never had the pleasure of driving a runner with a 3.4 you'll be very happy.
