Hey guys long time toyota fan I have owned many (83,85,87,88,04,06 toyota pickups). I am currently thinking of buying a 1970 toyota hilux with the 8rc 4spd. I am wondering if there is anything i should be looking for and what would I be looking at as far as swaping in a 22r and a five speed and the disc brakes. I have cruzed the forum and tried finding info on exactly what i would need to do this but have gotten some mixed answers. I also wonder if this 1970 is a bad choice for a swap etc. I love the 22r motor i know there are some here that will say that its not really worth it but i think it will be. Also is there any chance that a 2jz motor would fit in one of these trucks or is it way to long/big? not that i would do that swap for a long long time.
i doubt a 2jz would fit without some firewall modification. As for the 22r swap its not that hard, but it will also require some fab work. I did it to my 73 with is the same frame and front end size and it wasnt that hard. I havnt converted over to disc yet, i just havnt had the time. Thats just a simple spindle swap with an 80's pickup. good luck, post up pics of the truck, if ya have been lurking you should know the rules by now lol
Not to far. I had a guy buy parts from me tht lived there. I ended up buyin a solid back window from him haha
