Well, I managed to acquire a 1987 Toyota Pickup (Known as a Hilux is most circles) with 32 inch Super Swampers, a roll bar, lights, nerf bar bumpers, and in not running condition

I have a solid 22R head you can have. I have a solid bottom end too, but that's earmarked for the CeliKit. Took long enough for the movements of the cosmos to put an '84 22R and a '76 RA29 in my lap...
or, it would at least, theoretically, get the truck back on the road.
I'd do a 1UZ-FE swap, since the engine is fairly cheap to get, but the work and cost to mount it is high. (New Tranny, custom clutch, custom housing, custom mounts, custom harness, etc)
What year is the replacement block? There was a change in deck height in '85, where the block got shorter and the head got taller. You could rock the earlier head on the later block, but you will have higher compression and a small variation in crank/cam timimg.
the 22RE was a trim level option. Since you really can't go much lower in power than the 2.4L, they just made the lower models the 22R. Some 87s came in 22RE, and I think 22RTE (Only 2 years with the turbos, same with TDI)
Unfortunately, since mine came stock with a carbed engine, it's a pain to swap to EFI. (None of the wiring for the EFI system is in place, even the fuse block lines aren't there.)
