Geting a Toy P/u needs motor help

In the process of getting a 87/88 (not sure) Toy 5spd ext cab for cheap. according to my pops, its got a perfectly straight body and the guy drives it to work everyday, but according to him "needs work". I guess it has a super ton of miles on it. I havent looked at it or had a tech look either. So, i dont know exactly what is wrong..

.. Is there somewhere to get a new/rebuilt 22r ...

he also said it has tranny problems, im guessing clutch...

.. what do you think??

Do they have a toy dismantler out there?

save the money up and just get a high performance crate motor from lcengineering.com

LC,yes, get the Pro Street EFI, you won't regret it.I,ve had mine from a year now ,power,yes! Just remember you need to make it handle & stop!!

..22Rs came in a lot of other cars as well i think. like coronas, some celicas..not to sure.
anyway tranny probs prob wont be the clutch at a guess if it was the clutch the guy would say perhaps....
my gearbox was fried on my truck when i got it, no second gear, noisy as hell, wouldnt down shift. dont worry too much i bought one from the wrekors for 200 bucks and slotted in it in an afternoon with my g/fs dad, niether of us are mechanics and we managed it. buying broken cars is a challenge, can be fun but if urr not up to it you will get hell pissed off and not want to do it

look in race-dezert.com there classifieds. im all about the mini scene but you can find anything for any truck in those classifieds lifted or lowered.....

im just looking to drive this thing. So LCE wouldnt be what im lookin for. i just found out i may have a blown head gasket and needs syncros for the tranny..

its a 1988, single cab standard bed 5spd. great body, new tires new wheels new clutch for 700$

Hell if you just going to drive it then hit your local parts store up & have the head serviced & youll have a nice daily driver!
