I have to agree with Steve here about the 22R engine.  My parents have a
4Runner with this engine and it is nice.  However, the one in my
parents' car has a timing chain, not a timing belt.  It's an '89.  60K+
miles and only needed a thermostat cause the old one stuck open.
It's a very good engine.  I am kinda interested to know where the
radiator is.
