'85 4Runner. I want to be able to take the 4runner on longer trips going highway speeds over mountain passes and anything else without going deaf or with my foot in the gas at the top end of the 22RE's power band. 7M is the current leading option in my mind because of its compatibility with my existing drivetrain. W56 and gear driven t case.
Thought about 5VZ and 3RZ of course, but I have a line on a 7MGE-T that is in a car, running, with a few nice-to-haves already inside(ARP studs, for example). The 5VZ is a pricey swap and I like inline engines. 3RZ is pulling at my love for the 22RE, so I haven't ruled it out, just want more than 150HP.
