I'm looking for information pertaining to a motor swap and wiring set up.
I have a 1987 toyota 4runner with a 22re with a rotten frame and rotting quarter panels.
I bought a 1990 4 door 3.0 auto toyota 4runner. Super cheap and super clean. Motor and granny already pulled and gone, PO did that.
This is what I got on hand not gonna go out and get a 3.4, I'd like to do the 22re 4 door for now. Any information on the swap would be super helpful.
 
Get a bellhousing for the 22RE since the blocks are different. You’re going to have to be cutting and welding on new motor mounts as well so it helps if you know how to weld. You’ll need to modify the exhaust too.

I’m not a wiring guru so I have no idea what it’ll take in that department but you’ll need to get an ECU for a 22RE at minimum and do some wiring. It does help that you have a complete donor rig so you can splice what you need to get the engine running. I’m sure someone could go into better detail on what else you’ll need.
 
Swap is pretty straight forward. You have mounts, as mentioned. The wiring. Use Toyota TIS. driveshafts may need lengths changed.
