Hey I have a 1980 toyota pickup with a good 20R for that I got for $200. I can get a 1990 P/U for $150 with no engine. Is it possible for me to put my 20R in place of the gone 22R? Is it a difficult swap? Input? Ideas? I am planning on a solid axle swap as well. The reason behind this swap is so I get a newer truck with A/C, power steering and many other features including Heat! Thanks

Chris

If there's no AC in the old truck, there's no AC in the new truck. and going from EFI to carb isn't necessarilly a good swap.

No I mean put the whole 20R engine + tranny in the 1990?

Yes, physically it can be done, but then there's the WTF are you thinking aspect of the swap too. I think that's what 4" was getting at. The only way I could ever see running another 20r would be if I was just putting it in a truck to sell.

Well, My 1980 has a bad frame and the 90 has a good frame and body so why not? And I mean is it apretty straightforward swap? Like motor mounts?

hey there you are, um YES like i told you in pm, it "can" be done but maybe we can find a 22Re close by for cheap

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #6 on:** Oct 10, 2006, 06:57:22 PM »

as a matter of fact there is a guy in Knoxville that would probably set you up,

Basically what I wanted to do was get the 1990 truck and swap my 20R engine in there but homeskillet tells me otherwise

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #9 on:** Oct 10, 2006, 07:07:30 PM »

homeskillet

um does the 90 have a tranny??

4inchToyotas · « **Reply #10 on:** Oct 10, 2006, 07:07:51 PM »

yeah, it's usually best not to go backwards in terms of engines.

scarboy · « **Reply #11 on:** Oct 10, 2006, 07:10:39 PM »

Nope..Just an empty space

hmm, well i just emailed a guy thats looking for some 20R engines, and you could use the 80 tranny as a core on a Marlin tranny for that truck, but dont let anyone near that 80 tcase

the a/c in the 90 , NOT the 80, all he needs is a compressor bracket

insane builds 20/22 hybrids, therefore he needs 20R engines.

he could possibly buy your engine or swap you a 22r, also was the 90 a 22RE??

scarboy · « **Reply #18 on:** Oct 10, 2006, 07:20:02 PM »

it was a 22r! It does come with a transfer case too tho...Could I use it for dual cases?

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #19 on:** Oct 10, 2006, 07:22:15 PM »

YES

lets see what we can find, we can do this for under a grand$$

scarboy · « **Reply #20 on:** Oct 10, 2006, 07:23:44 PM »

scarboy · « **Reply #23 on:** Oct 10, 2006, 07:31:39 PM »

It comes with fuel injection parts...Does that mean it was a 22re?

kneedownnate · « **Reply #24 on:** Oct 10, 2006, 07:33:15 PM »

My friend had a 90 bare bones 4by sb, didn't even have p/s. Surprised the crap outa me.

just FYI, a 80 20r won't pass emissions in a 90 truck...
