22r=22re?
I have an '88 pickup with a 22RE which needs a total rebuild. I found a low mileage 22R engine out of an '84 pickup and I was wondering if I could use the 22R block/head with the 22RE intake/electrical stuff.
Has anyone done this or heard about it being done?

I was reading through the following links and it looks like late '83 and 84+ 22R heads have bosses for the EFI stuff.

ya i did it to my 84, everything bolted up fine, just make sure the motor that you getting is drilled for the EFI intake, just in case its not really an 84 motor, the only thing you will have to change is the knock sensor location, i just took the sensor to a hardware store and found a nut that threaded on, then i welded the nut to the front of the passenger side motor mount, since your truck is already EFI you wont have any of the wiring hurdles that i had to overcome, other than the knock senor it should be a direct swap
