Hey all,
Im considering picking up a 4 runner to build, and Im wondering what engine I should be looking for.

Given the choice, what would you choose and why?

Ive heard that the 22RE's are the SHIZZZZ, but logically it would seem to be under powered?
Ive also heard that the V6's have head gasket issues? Is there a solution for this?

Looking to build it for rocks, but it also has to run on the highway for longer trips.

Thanks for the help in advance.
