Forgot to get to point- measure all journals on crank. If within specs and no oblongation or serious grooving you can probably run it.
These cranks are stout and wear resistant. I believe they are steel as opposed to cast iron? I pull a rebuilder apart that was hashed on; cracked...
I'm in the middle of a 22r and 5 speed swap in a 74. For being a Toyota to Toyota it's a PITA, but many probs can be avoided if the original trans...
These worthless ****ing forums...

If you were anywhere near Portland, Or I would give you my old l42. Made a little bit of noise but I prob would have ran it had I not found the 5...
87 radiator fits after drilling new mounting holes. 74 was at least a core thicker but newer rad clears clutch fan, barely. Must install fan...

It sits high on the stock motor mount brackets. Should be fine though. The orig tranny (l42?) was first option but it was making a fair bit of...
Retarding the ignition helps immensely. The more the better. I've passed dialed so far back the car was barely drivable. You will have to open the...
Thanks, man. I'll take any and all advice on this project. Didn't imagine swapping a 4 into a truck of the same make would be such a pain but too...
