Rebuild or 22R to 22RE swap?
I just bought a One Owner, always garaged RUST FREE 1986 truck (4x4,22r) off of my wifes uncle. He had the top end rebuilt (valve job, HG and timing chain) about six months ago. Then a couple of weeks ago the motor locked up on him. He took the head off and all the pistons are OK (bearing most likely). He then sold me the truck. I also have a 1987 with a GREAT 22re that has been totaled. Should I do a down and dirty rebuild on the the 22R (bearings,rings,oil pump)that is already in the 86 or swap engines/wiring/tank-pump-lines with the 87? (hard swap???) Thanks for any info!

If you do the swap you need to careful of all the senors & distributor. The distributors are different between the two. Also the 22r doesn't have the location for the knock sensor. Other than that it isn't too bad

nope, since we're talking about post-85 engines, the long blocks(everything from the valve cover to the oil pan, except manifold) are exactly the same.
you are right about the distributors, just swap yours in the other engine if you go that route.
