just basing it off this:
ya, and he swapped an engine into his 4runner and got it going pretty quickly, but then his brother wrecked it. He's 16, give the kid a break.
NCT,
will your brother help you do this motor swap? I'd think he at least owes you that, for rolling your last rig. I'd clean up the engine, but if its good, I wouldn't bother taking it apart. It sounds like you've got a good plan if you keep the toyota, just build it up over time as skills and money allow. I agree with what KDX said 
he basically told me he would help me out if i got stuck, but it will be mostly me. ill do everything i can myself and what i cant do (for whatever reason) he said he would come in and help me out.
i think im gonna take his tires fro rolling the runner...since they fit on the truck.
