Starting this thread more as a write up where people can go and find exactly what has to be done with pictures. and where questions can be asked. i will be doing this swap and taking a bunch of pictures. although i will admit, i have no idea what im doing. so any tips or tricks, post em up!

first off, here are a few links to check out if you are doing this swap. these are more for converting a carb'ed engine to FI. i am swapping an entire engine in.

aquaprice

I found it an easier process with a whole truck to pull the parts from.

87hillbillyoter

Is it an early model 22re or a later model, pirate basically outlines the wiring for the early model, but leaves the later model 22re hangin :sadpanda:

does anyone one have info in swaping a 20r for a 22re on a 79 toad?

alright, so i figured id make this into a kind of step by step write up for all those who have no idea what they are doin. like me.

step 1: obviously, pull the hood off.



step 2: you probably dont have to, but i went through and marked every line there is. just in case this went bad, i could drop my old one back in there.

step 3: find everything that is connected to the engine that is also connected to the truck. disconnect all of it. check and re-check. i checked at least 4 times and i still missed a bolt and a ground wire. take the header/manifold off, all the air filter crap off, and vac and electric lines.





step 4: support the transmission and the engine.





step 5: unbolt all the bolts connecting the bellhousing to the engine. in my case, 2 were missing, and one had cracked completely through, so i only had 5 bolts to undo.



step 6: unbolt the motor mounts.

step 7: pull the engine. i had to yank mine a little to get it loose. had a little trouble getting it out of the engine bay because i didnt route the chains right.

oops! missed a wire





the engines resting spot :gap: by the way, this thing is for sale, if anybody is interested.





empty engine bay






and where im at on the dash- didnt try any more today, still cant find where its being held up at.



more on the writeup later.

I'm looking at putting a 22re head on a 22r block any input?

CFXY

I want to convert a 22R to a 22RE fuel injected does anyone have any input on what all needs to be done to make this work.

I know there's a lot of post about this swap but I don't see much on telling you what you need, I bought a 92 2wd for a donor truck for my 84 to do the efi swap. I pulled the motor and the harness and the ECM which was the one located at the kick panel on the passenger side. Is that all I will need for the swap? I'm just gonna run a inline fuel pump instead of swapping out the fuel tanks? Any info would help a lot

Thanks
