 we have the whole van here i just have to get  little things for to  git ti in there    if anyone wants the rest let me know the bodys good inside too

This is the first time I'm putting a 4.3 in my toy, I'm also putting a grany 4 speed behind it with a klune v and a 205. I'm going all out.

sound  like alot of work but its worth it i think am loking forward to having more power on the road and off too while its down im going to  my body lift in it it going to be good to go    untill the next project of bobing it

[toybuilt]

do you have a picture of your truck? Is it a x cab? What tires are you running or going to run? Also what size body lift are you putting on your truck, I wouldn't go over 2".

[yodersgirl [OP]]

 i have a 85 runner with 5.29s auzzy in the rear w lock right in front w 6in susp lift w 35.12.50.15 procomps    picks on the newbe form

Stick with 22R 4 popper -- screw 4.3L 

Run Simple Digital Systems fuel injection and a turbo or supercharger.

I love my 4.3    You might double check the ratios with that tranny but I know with my 5 speed and 35's I wouldn't want any lower than 4.88 gears for highway.  There is plenty of torque (start in second gear).  Try to install without a body lift it can be done and I have even raised my cross member.

[h0nke]

keep it toyota!

if you must upgrade go 2.7 or 3.4 toy!!!

[yodersgirl [OP]]

  i have to do the bodylift on my runner at least a 3 i have the baha finders on it and on a good angle  my 35.s rub i have some road rash

[yodersgirl [OP]]

 oh i'm going to get my stuff for  high steer next week 

[toybuilt]

that will be killer, have to see pictures when its put together
