Q: Looking to swap and be road legal for 88 4runner 22re to increase HP for offroading. what is the best engine upgrade for this?
I have a 1988 4runner with a 22re engine. Im Looking to increase horsepower for offroading while remaining road legal. what is the best engine upgrade for this and an estimate of total labor hours needed to complete an engine swap? Ive heard there is a v6 3.0 liter engine but after researching, ive heard it does not increase horsepower and low end torque needed to sufficiently handle larger tires, roll cage weight, or towing atvs.
