Since I may be getting my 81 back, I may just want to rebuild the 22R eventually, or just buy a new built one. Where do I look for one, besides ebay?

bump.

local junkyards, online classifieds. almost any junkyard around here will have at least a few sitting around, might be different in your neck of the woods.

look for places that import them.... you might not have those out where you are though... we have them out here in CA but we have ports out here for boats

kyle_22r

be careful when doing that though -- there's no such thing as a JDM 22R. japan used the 21R-U which is a 2.0l engine instead of a 2.4.

No one sells any new 22R's?

kyle_22r

no such thing, unless you can find a new old stock engine laying around in one of toyota's warehouses. production ended in '95 in most places, '97 in south africa...

and they are gutless

I'm sorry, I wasd miss understood. Ford doesnt make the 302 anymore, but companys like DSS, CHP, Dart, Fox Racing, ect. Still make short/long block 302's ready for street/strip.


No one does this with the 22R?

u could still get shortblocks from toyota, i called the other day, they want 1900 for a shortblock, didnt ask about the longblock

kyle_22r

yes, but they're no longer in production. most likely taking up space in a warehouse.

stuff like the 302 ford and 350 chevy small block V8s are still in production as blocks and crate engines but no longer used in production vehicles(i'm not counting the 3rd gen small blocks chevy uses now). for being such a popular engine, i can't imagine why there's never been any cool aftermarket heads or blocks for the 22R...
