I'm really just posting this to see everyones opinion on it. After having a look at my buddy's 4Runner with this motor in it this weekend, I'm pretty darned sure this is what I want to do for an engine.
He's got a 70 series 3B Landcruiser motor installed in his 85 Runner. Using a custom adapter he's still got his W56 transmission and dual Toyota t-cases. Now he wants to swap to the Landcruiser transmission.
I think from the get go I'll go with the Landcruiser transmission, H55, and an adapter from Marlin Crawler to run the gear driven case.
Stock it's got 90hp and 160 ft-lbs vs the 96hp and 129 ft-lbs of my 22R.
What's everyone think? I know it is a very uncommon swap, I only know of 2 people with it (my friend and someone is AUS).
What wiring is there with the 3B?
What are the parts of the fuel system and how does it work?
Is there a computer/ecu like on EFI trucks?
