Isuzu Repair: GM or Toyota motor in an 86 Isuzu Trooper?!?!?!, isuzu engines, gm motor


Question
have you ever heard of anyone putting GM motor or a Toyota motor in an isuzu?
specifically, the GM engine from the mid 80s S10s or the 22R engine from toyota pickups?
if you have never heard of this kind of swap-out, does it sound really stupid or maybe doable?
        thanks

Hello Jacob. What a lot of people do not know, is that GM owns the biggest part of Isuzu. In the early/mid 80's, there were Isuzu engines installed in the S10 pickups. It might be possible to swap one of these to a pickup with the Isuzu name on it. As for the Toyota engine; I do not have a clue! If you have enough time and money, anything is possible. I doubt that it was done at the factory. I hope that this helps you.  Phil
