if ur gonna swap go 3.4 v6  ur gonna have a lot of money into the yota diesel swap...idk bout propane never ran it...fuel injecting urs would be the cheapest and easiest way to go  i can hook ya up with everything u need

[12 valve [OP]]

well i don't know how hard it would be to inject a 79 Truck. the wiring doesn't sound like much fun.

[yotaneck13]

ud need a 22re motor u cant inject a 20r i missed that thought u had the 22r the wiring is easy i do conversion harnessid be more thann happy to make u a harness

[jeff22r]

i wasnt makn fun of you i knew there was more to it u jus made it sound like its was that simple lol

no hard feelings im just tired of everybody sayin a 20r head swap is too much work ,my 3 yr old could do it!!! lol now dont get me wrong if ur gonna do it do it right!!!!   i bolted up parts in my garage and now my rings are going out!! not havin $ sucks!!!!!

[THK Matt]

VW TDI

i put  a 22r motor in it so its not the 20r any more. i do have a charging problem with it also it wil only charge at about 13 and if i turn on my fan it goes to 12. new battery, alt, and vlotage reg any ideas about that?

[12 valve [OP]]

and how much would a harness cost?

[yotaneck13]

make sure all ur grounds are good ... bat to body bat to motor alt to motor and valve cover to body sounds like a ground problem...depends on the swap and what all u want converted..350 to 600

[12 valve [OP]]

thanks i will go look it over and see what i can find. and on the motor swap my friend is putting a 4bt cummins in his toyota and said i could have the motor out of his truck i think its a 98 4x4 five speed. could you make something that will work for that or do i just need to find a 22re?

[12 valve [OP]]

i was wonder if you could post some pics of where and what the grounds look like i have one from bat to body body to the block intake to body and that was about all i could see.

[yotaneck13]

what ever you wanna put in i can make work i jus need both harnesses to make one out of the two... check your altinator there should be a ground running from it to ur block  as well as one from the center of your firewall to the valve cover

[12 valve [OP]]

i didnt see the one from alt to the block is there any way you could show me a pic and maybe i could just add the ones that are missing

[yotaneck13]

i wouldnt have any problem showin u a pic xcept my motor is still out of my truck where does all the wires on ut alt hharness go?

[12 valve [OP]]

it looks like they just go to the reg on driver side fender

[12 valve [OP]]

and into the harness and some come out by the positive side on battery

[yotaneck13]

theres no wires running to the block?

[12 valve [OP]]

i have one that goes from fender to motor mount to block. going to add a couple to the bat to the block and frame to block in the next couple of days to see if that might help.

[79toy20r]

You're not going to see a ground coming from the alt. I would just swap to a gm one wire. I could never get my Toyota alt to charge more than 13.5 volts and with my Taurus e-fan on it would drop to 12.7. I put in a gm 1 wire and Now it's 14.7 volts and 14.2 with the fan on

[12 valve [OP]]

does it use the same brackets and how does it wire up to stock plugs?

[79toy20r]

There was a guy who sold the bracket on pirate. But nowtrail gear sells it. So you replace the stock bracket, bolt the alternator up and run a 4 gauge wire from the alt. To the battery. Simple install took about 45 minutes

i will mess with the grounds first then might look into doing something like that thanks for the help
