I had a '89 4runner with 280K miles on it, those 22re are bullet proof. However for all the engine swap research I have never seen one of these used. It is quite a tall inline four so it would be angled in there and maybe still not clear the engine lid, not to mention it is obviously water cooled. Good luck.

I am helping a friend convert a 4x4 Toyota pickup from a 22re to a 2l-te diesel so i am in converting mode.
I always wanted to convert an air cooled to a water cooled just for shi%s and giggles. I also would like to elevate the engine bay so when my seat folds I can sleep there.
Any help on the tranny fitting would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Matthew

Air to water is easy, all the holes are cut for you.  The rest is your skill
