1976 Fiyota in NY not mine.

a 22r is a good motor, but not what I would consider for a 124 replacement. Torque will be good. But just not the sports car vibe in performance. Had one in a celica back in the day, was very reliable,
I had several in my pickups. Beat them up on a normal basis in the dunes and they kept going. Actually had the rare 22re Turbo that rocked as well

The 20R was slightly better then the 22R but both very durable engines. I had 4 Celica's, 3 P/U's & a 4Runner. But this went from a 5sp to a 4sp & the 22R only puts out around 100HP give or take. Not sure this is an improvement overall.
