Hey guys, this is my first post... nice to have somewhere to go with all my questions. I had a 99 Tacoma 4x4 that I loved, unfortunately it was rolled on the freeway. I then got a 1980 20r shortbed 4 speed, that I love, unfortunately engine blew last weekend. So after a week of thinking through my options I've decided against a 3RZ swap for now (It would take me months to do it myself and would cost me too much to pay someone else to do it and btw I'm without transportation and need something ASAP...) although I do still have my 99 Tacoma and aside from a totaled body, its in great condition. So anyway, instead I'd like to get a 22r short block, use my 20r head, take to an engine shop and have everything rebuilt with somewhat performance oriented parts. First question is that am I right in my information that the 20r head put onto a 22r block provides better breathing and higher compression? I am also confused about transmission and transfer case. Will stock T/C out of my '80 bolt up to a W56 (the tranny I would like to use in this swap)? I called around today and was told its not just an easy bolt up. If not, then should I just get a T/C that would normally be bolted to a W56 and use that? I'm trying to gather as much info as possible in the shortest time and my heads about ready to explode. Any help on the subject would be so greatly appreciated. Also, I'm in Orange County, if anyone has an recommendations for engine/tranny shops, that would be awesome. Thanks!
