I got news from the machine shop. Well first off I took the block in to get it service and they say next bore size would have to be .6O over. Yikes!!! Not going to risk anything. So hope my buddy has a block I can pick up and hopefully at stock spec. Btw this is my original block not the One I just picked up and also who want an 81-84 22re block?

 

Nice find the runner look better than the first picture. The front and rear bumpers like cool.
Good luck with it....

 

Thanks rmp

 

NICE Runner! I like that Color,.... like "Blake"s

 

Yea I like blakes runner

 

got any compete running 22r? or even 22re? i need one for a toyota 2wd pick up thats been parked. it has a 22r in but its no good

 

No just cleaned out the garage right before the engine went stupid on me haha who would had wonder. Haha but it is 50% off at the junk yard this weekend "pick a part" ima head out there tomorrow to see what's good. I'll let you know if I come across any complete

 

cool thanks

 

Forgot to say Toyo. There was no 22re engine out the at the junk yard haha yea I know almost a week later. Haha

 

haha all good. hows your engine coming along. need to get some snow wheeling with you before its over

 

Engine is coming along slowly haha should be up and running soon. Sister is getting Marty this week so not gona to spend a lot of money till the next week or so. I'll keep you guys posted

 

MAN, I feel for ya.... I mean, I find around 5 each visit to Pick-Your-Part out here.... YES, most of the intakes and more are RIPPED OFF, rather than removed(because these TOOLS don't bring tools, nor probably understand how they're assembled/disassembled.....GRRR! lol)...but the blocks are almost always there. Trans' are often there, too. Gears? NEVER! lol. I just saw one in SWEET shape, last weekend...(got CAm phone pics)...... Crank turned really easily by hand with wrench, etc..... But someone had dropped it on the ground on metal and cracked the face of the block(man, what is it with me and my luck with block faces being cracked???? hahaha).

Best wishes, Vang,.....can't wait to see you "On the Road Again!!!"

 

Thanks chef just after I pulled a block this pass week I went back and there was this super cleaner block there but too lazy tO pull that one out haha

 

Hey chef aren't you running the 261 cam? Is it hard to pass smog with it?

 

Thanks dude! I was just cruising through the build and saw that. Unless there's another Blake out there.... :p

 

Yes, I have the 261.... And NO CLUE, Vang, as pertaining to 'SMOG'...... as I've not had to take it in just yet. This May, it's ONNNNNN, as they say, lol.... but for some reason, due to the thing always passing with flying colors, etc., .................they gave me a year off??? lol. I think the 261 is as advertised.... "NO PROBLEM with passing smog", etc.... It's not like even a 285 Crane, etc., where you have to start worrying.... let alone like the stroker CAMS(428-431, etc.)..... YOWIE, lol.... Bet those things RUMBLE, lol....

And, ........... I LIKE BLAKES 4RUNNER TOO!!!! Blakes a pretty cool dude, himself... hahaha. OH, and his dad is a cool cat as well

 

Alright 261 is coming by way then hahaha thanks chef smog for me in may also lets see

Theres more than one blake here!?!?? Haha Keep up the good looking runner Blake

 

Look what came into The shop today. Never seen one of these before its a 2wd 4runner it seems It's a pickup Body with a 4runner interior. It had a stick on the bed "fun runner." didn't get the year but onfly had time to take o e quick snap at it



What do you guys think, pretty cool huh?

 

VERY cool, man! lol. I'd drive it!
