89 Hilux Heart Transplant

CoisÃ© · Post by **CoisÃ©** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 9:13 pm

Good day all,

I need some advice, guidance to make up my mind in terms of what engine I should consider for a relaible transplant. The current 2.2 is very "pap" and I need bit more power and torque for I do sometimes tow my rubber duck or my off road trailer.

My first choice would be 2.4 22R with EFI and gasflow head.
My other choices would be 3.0 L Ford and more drastic Lexus. I have been also wondering about the Prado 3.4 with autobox and cruiser series 80 diff like in the Surf.

Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks and I am enjoying the forum very much as I am picking up a lot of pointers. The bug has bitten me seriously as I have bought two of these 2.2 Double cabs to play with. I grew up with them when I was a laaitie. I have opted for the 7MG engine transplant. Barry of Ultimate 4x4 in Pretoria is doing it and he and his boet are quite involved in the 4x4 fraternity. I am getting it in three weeks time. Will keep you posted and with some pics. Cheers

Nice choice, keep it genuine Toyota, but cook it hot! You will not regret it.

I drove my 7MGE - Hilux to work today, and I wish I could afford to use it as a commuter every day. It drives brilliantly, nippy in traffic, and taxis just turn off the road when they see me coming.

Sell the BM

Francois, how much are they charging you for the transplant?
