3RZFE engine to replace 22R engine in 95 model hilux ute

[5000gt]

totally new engine if it is a 2tr.... fly by wire etc.... it's what is in the new hilux's.

plastic everything from cover to intake runners..... the 2rz actually feels "better" to drive due to better low end torque + lighter donor cars..... the new utes are fat pigs.

The donor hilux I am trying to get the engine from is a late 2006 model so I guess that makes it a 2TR-FE ? some sites say its a completely new engine others say its just a different head with VVT. Can anyone give me more info?

i suspect they are very similar....

i can confirm the bellhousing pattern on the block is identical.

im using a R150-2TR bellhousing on a 3RZ with a R154
