Question swaping bigger engine in 85 pickup - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Rice_Bole · 02-18-2005, 12:56 PM

I was wondering are there any engines that would fit in to a 85 pickup. It has a tiny 4 in it and im looking for more power.

You could get the V6 from a 4Runner. I've read where folks put chevy 4.3L in them.

http://www.northwestoffroad.com/ has swaps for small block v8's like a chebby 350 or ford 302.

Now that would be a kool swap.....built ford 302 running quit, THAT would be a sleeper from hell.

yea I did a junkyard twin turbo setup on a 89 5.0 mustang 2 years back and when i was doing the rebuild to my 4runner it was a constant battle to tell myself not to do it in the 4runner for nearly the same amount of money.

well you could just leave the damn motor alone because a 22r will last the longest and provide the most power, that motor was designed to work the best it ever will in that vehicle and thats that

put a 2jzgte from a supra or a 1uzfe from a crown in

Uh, ever driver a Toyota with a smallblock in it?? I've built trucks with both (built up 22R's and v8), and I would say the V8 has a bit more power than the 22R...I can smoke the tires on my dually in "drive". The engine will last a long time because it's not moving a lot of truck.

v'8s are for ***S

How about the 2.7ltr Tacoma 4cyl? Maybe you could tell us more about how your truck is setup now, stock,big tires,tired motor,etc...
With the cost of fuel, I won't feed a V-8. I like the reliability of the Toyota poweplants!

The 22 re has to be one of the most reliable, toughest engines made of any size. And gets good gas milage to boot. I would never trade it.

opinions arelike assholes everybody seems to have one.... some shittier than others....

TrustyRusty · 06-29-2006, 06:00 PM

yea i would go with a 22r or maybe a tacoma 4 banger or v6 but not a v8 because its not made by toyota if you want somthing without a 4 banger or v6 why are you driving a toyota bub?

Yup, forums are like a$#$@##@! also, every forum seems to have one and you are this ones.

Didn't know this forum allowed pre-teens to post.

i am just amazed that they make people take drivers test, but anybody can open their yap and spew garbage.
