Installing used 22RE this weekend....question tho???
Ok so ive found a recently re-built engine from a junk yard for $750...going tomm to pick it up and install it this weekend, my question is that is there any tricks to removing and installing these engines compared to others? Ive done 4 other R&R engines before and they were intimadating but fairly for the most part easy... i just know that there are a lot of vacume lines and so on on the 22RE compared to most.....so any info would be helpful thanks

My advise leave all lines attatched that you can, unplug the harness from the ecu and take it out with the engine. GRAVY.
Of course you have heard it run though right. Not sure what kind of experience you have with them but a rebuild may not be what you think it is. I went through 3 engines before I built one.

knowing where the vaccume lines go is the biggest problem i remember from when i rebuilt my engine and had to put it back in, but if you have already done a couple engine replacements you should be just fine

Just replace mine in April. Like they said the vacuum lines are the hardest part 2 lines in the wrong position will hurt you. It is always easier to work on a clean engine than a dirty one. and you can buy a brand new long block for $1600
