PS> MIGHT have a line on an 87 22RE 5spd ECU if you'll be needing it for a good price, I'll find out, k?

 

yea, sorry about the bandwidth guys, i have my build on here, marlin, and pirate so the pics get quite a few views. and chef, i dont know all the details on it, but its an awesome engine. and i dont know if ill need the ecu, pretty sure hes got one. ill let you know though.

ill be needing quite a bit of help as ive never done anything like this before, let alone pulled an engine. well see how it turns out

 

You'll do fine, homie! Step by step and mark EVERYTHING, ...then follow instructions, and in a couple days, POOF, you're running!

No problem..... start off with a Titled Post, "Starting 22re into 22r swap, NOW...." lol....and keep it organized, list things by numbers and such, and we'll walk you right through it, no problems!

 

will do. i hope to have it running within 3 weeks, but being in college makes it tough haha. only have the weekends to work on it

 

little update here. sorry for the no pics, theyll be back in a couple days. anyways, i decided to swap a 22re into my truck. heres where im at





oops! missed a ground wire haha





by the way, this engine is for sale if anybody is interested







where im at on stripping the dash



more to come later

 

That is GREAT TO SEE, MAN! Awesome, ....and an EFI too boot, yeeahhhhhhhhh, booooey! lol. So, you got that motor already, right? The EFI?

 

thanks chef! my buddy is pulling it from his truck this week or next weekend. then we're dropping that sumbish in my truck

 

"WELL SON, IT'S SIMPLY CHRISTMAS IN SEPTEMBER NOW, AINT IT!?!?!?!?" ......hehe.

have fun, HB!

 

I like your cherry picker

 

yea it was the more expensive version at the auto parts store. i guess its a special edition or something

 

big enough tool for the job? lol
You sure it can handle that 22r?

 

This is what I thought when I saw this picture....



It would look better if your truck wasnt red.



oh yeah, your swap looks good, too.....

 

My parents just had a bunch of tractor work done at their spot, I must say, big caterpillars are damn impressive. Knock trees over, rip their roots out and level the spot where they used to be in a matter of minutes.

 

907, ....hahahaha! That's great!

 

what are you saying....?

theyre fun toys to play with too

 

Just looked like the FEL was trying to eat your truck...
And, the picture would have looked better if your truck wasnt red cuz red was pretty much the only color that looked good for the teeth and such...

 

haha i know, i was just messin with ya

 

heyy quick question. do you know anybody tht has a passenger knuckle they want to sell?

 

i might, not off the top of my head. ill let you know if i find one


pics are working again yall

 

That's awesome that you got a hold of a 22re! 130,000 isnt too bad. Good luck with the build. I wish i had time to help, but i cant because i'm still working 40hrs a week. I'm having my crank reground, got new pistons, rings, new head from engnbldr. also getting new main and rod bearings and in a few weeks i should have my 22re finnished. A+ engine machine shop in Reno, is doing all the major work.
1. Engine Degrease
2. Magnaflux the block
3. Bore 0.020'' over & Hone
4. Regrind the crank

I'm just glad you went this route instead of doing what i did and went with a bad company like Attarco in Sac. Apparently my qoute on qoute "new engine" was merely just a used motor with a hone job and new head. My engine had cylinder bores were 0.012" over stock and the pistons were like 0.015" undersize from the stock specifications. So were in a race to get our engines put in. Lol

Nice engine Hoist by the way!
