which one will be the most cost friendly, strongest and reliable? the 22r isnt puttin out enough juice for my likings..goin in an 81

 

throw a turbo diesel in there

 

small block chevy. They're a dime a dozen and you can buy parts anywhere.

 

I'm playing with the idea of a 4.3 Vortec swap with a 4L60 behind it, but of course that all depends on money... LOL! There are swap mounts and headers for them, and even bellhousing swaps to mate to a stock Toyota trans. I'd just grab 'em off Ebay, Northwest OffRoad seems to be hard to get a hold of. I see the mounts on Craigslist here about once a week too.

 

like to keep jap engines in jap cars and vice-versa. is the sr20 possible in a toyota?

 

I've seen 'em in many early Celicas and they have smaller engine compartments, and if a SBC will fit in there I'd say no problem. I'm sure someone's done the swap before.

 

hmm i wonder..

and will this work on my 22r for now? Datsun weber 32 36 dgv carburetor - like new

 

Yep, just need an adapter and to tune it. Lots of people swap Webers on. You can find the adapters and the tuning kits on Ebay.

 

yup. Do it.

 

if u go with the 4l60e you can put paddle shifters just an idea

 

1jz bullet proof, very durable, keep it toyota

 

andre: thats what i was initially planning..how much would it cost me?

 

ok so ive done some more homework and decided 1jz is where i would like to head. any other modifications need to be made in order for optimal performance?

 

Its going to make it noseheavy as hell.

Hope you dont plan on running quick quarter mile times...

 

gotta bring this thread back..

odometer is reading 38,xxx. motor is dragging and the transmission is grindin and slipping..the setup is tired. i dont have the space to do the swap myself so im looking for the cheapest and quickest engine/tranny swap possible. i realize a new 22r setup would be it, but as i stated earlier its just not givin me enough power. (realistic) ideas are welcome as this is my daily ride and i dont have a senators income..

 

buy an lcenginering motor it has way more power than stock. Or you can get yours rebuilt and bored out .040 over with an early model 20r head and a 38 weber or dual carbs. Theres lots of things you can do to get more power out of these motors.

 

im wanting to do the 1uz-fe this spring.. got the donor car just gotta get the plan figured out

 

No such thing as a cheap, quick and easy motor swap.

Im halfway thru mine and it plain sux. Fitting and positioning takes forever.

But If your set on it, 302 small block ford (to toyota) mounts are available. Cant remember where.
Fox body oil pan.
And thats most of the battle right there.

 

****302 FORD MOTORS****

something to that effect?
