Which is better? 22re or 5vz
« on: Mar 04, 2008, 03:06:26 PM »
Im sure there's been a topic about this, but I really couldn't find what i was looking for.
I blew the 3vz V6 for the second time, blew a hole in side of the block.
I am not wasting my money on another 3vz this time and I need opinions about what is better?
I am looking to swap in a LC engineering built 22re or a Remanufactured 5vz.

I want somthing that can take the most abuse and last!

the 5vz would bolt right in and fit your tranny and motor mounts. with the extra power you wouldn't have to abuse it as much to get there. with the 22re you'd have to change your tranny, motor mounts and a bunch of stuff.  less power but it's hard to kill an 22re. a lot easier to work on and tons cheaper  if ya do.  3rz are cool but ya get back into more money again, lots of mods but marlin has a bellhoueing so you could use your tranny. all are good. if it was me, I'd just wait for the best donor rig and use the best deal.

I love those motors, but it would seem to be more $$$$$ and harder to get swap parts to swap in my 88 V6
