cracked block in a 22re

jeremiah · 05-12-2009, 08:49 AM

i have a question. i have a 1994 toyota pu with a 22re and i cracked a block and i was wondering if i could replace it with a 22r block... does anyone have any advice?

any reason why you want to go to a non EFI controlled engine?? you cannot expect this block to bolt right up and everything work just like the old one if that is what you are thinking.

i bought another truck for the engine. it has a 22r in it. but its not the same? can i use it at all?

why wouldnt it fit? i just want to use the block not the heads. if it wont fit what can i do to make it work?

i would like to retract my previous statement. finally got some lunch in me and started thinking clearly. it should work. the only problem i foresee is that you will no longer have somewhere to install the knock sensor. really cannot tell you what to do to solve this problem though.

and i am guessing that it wont run unless i can get that hooked up huh?

it should run but your timing will not advance any to gain mileage needed on lower octane gas such as 89. there should be a way but i really dont know how.
