I am thinking about getting a 1988 4runner. I own a couple of land cruisers so I am familiar with the 2f, just not the 22re. The truck itself is in great shape except for the engine (probably dropped a valve or something). The current owner already took out the tranny and engine. I am thinking about getting a remanufactured 22re and having it towed to someone so they can put it in for me since I dont have the time. I have seen some of the places that offer them online (www.outletengines.com) and have seen some 22re's on craigslist.
What would be the best route to go in this situation? Im not necessarily looking for the cheapest option, just one that would be done correctly and in a timely manner.
Thanks
Richard

Most shops or mechanics may be a little hesitant to work on a truck that has already been disassembled. As far as the engine, I purchased a remanufactured 22re from Jasper Engines for my old DD 2wd pickup and was very pleased with it. I had put nearly 90k on it without an issue when I finally sold the truck.
