Default Engine swap

My 89 4Runner has a 22RE that I will be swaping for a new 22RE soon. Any advice on this would be great. I know how to do the swap I'm just looking for little details that could help.

Thanks!

Too bad you live so far away, I'd love to help and learn.

Sorry, no specific 4Runner swap info. Done a Miata engine swap, that was fun.

The link on the word love pulls up the Beattles lol.

I was planning on taking lots of pics and doing a write up on it then posting it on here. I'll have to put it all back together to do that because I got bored and took it all apart except for the mounts and bell housing bolts. haha more work to help others...how fun.[:'(]

According to that history article I linked on the SR5 mystery thread, theIFS means its relatively easy to swap in a V6.

I thought about that but if I went that way I would have to change the ECU wiring harness and do some serious fuel line mods. The plans I have make the 22RE a better choice anyway. The aftermarket on the V6s suck and they really don't make much more power than the 4 cylinder.

Please share these plans.

I dream of dropping in a DOARacing 22-RE one of these days, but if a better engine could be built cheaper...

*EDIT*

Now that Kamakura Kid has read this I am erasing it so some A-hole with money doesn't beat me to this.
