Block looks like a 7M with 2 cylinders lopped off... Now the head is another story...
LOL @ Jeff and his animosity for the 22r. That being said, yeah, it's a great, super reliable motor, but leaves a lot to be desired. I'd probably rock a 22rte, though.
7mgte swap FTW.

Jasper 22r FTMFL, first one lasted 18k, on 12k with the replacement and already crossing my fingers... Shoulda rebuilt it myself
22r isn't a bad motor, I abused the hell out of my original motor and it lasted 250k. Kind of a hopeless cause if you're trying to build a high HP motor though...
I'm still running mine. 155k miles on the ODO, and it's still running strong. I DID, however, get a BHG, which I'm sure was due to lack of maintenance before I bought it. Replaced the HG at 149,xxxk, and all has been well since. 
There are facts about the 22R and it's reliability. It's undeniably bullet proof. Hard as a rock, etc, etc.
Doesn't mean I have to like it. Haha!

yeah i was just surprised to hear someone dislike the 22r/re.
Now that i'm thinking about it, I drove one in a tacoma once...and i totally forgot!! It was when i went through driver's training.
It was a useless lump as far as power goes. I had to keep it floored JUST to get up to 65 and avoid merging at 45mph. hurrrrrr.

OH....really. well. my bad.
In all truthfulness I was just guessing...bad assumption huh? lol.
i assumed since it was a 4cyl I was driving, it would have been the 22r. Since it was so well known I figured toyota would have kept it. what engine does it have?

2RZ-FE or 3RZ-FE depending on the model (2.4L and 2.7L). (Up until 2004 that is, 2005 and up is a new engine).

OH ok. Thanks Jeff! How is it you know so much anyway? Does it just come with being a toyota tech and having a knack/liking for cars?
