is there any other differences between a 1986 carburated 22re and a 1990 fuel injected 22re besides the intakes? i got a 1986 motor to put in my 1990 and it looks to me as if the intake is the only difference.

 

if its carbed, i belive its a 22R

and if its a 22R the head and deck height is different... i think.

 

if its an 86 truck, it would be a carbed motor, but modern block. It'll work fine. Check engnbldr website for one, to get info on when the motor changed specs. 1985 delineates the newer design.

 

thanks , i was told they were the same blocks and everything ws the same except the intake but wanted to get other input.

 

lots more

upper and lower intake manifold
I dunno if the 85 is a laser block if its not the blocks are different

Not too sure but the earlier 22R had a dual row timing chain and a different timing chain cover to go with it (and water pump etc)

Fuel injector impedence (22RE differences between the early and late)

etc...

The differences are major or minor depending on what yer doing...

why did ya ask?

 

i was thinking if i just swapped the carb intake with the fuel injection intake i can drop it in my 1990 pickup

 

You mean taking a "long block" (block and head) from an 86 carb motor (22RE is by definition fuel injection - thats what I thought the "E" was for) and swappin it in?

If they are both laser blocks Im pretty sure it will work.

 

yeh using the long block . i thought the "E" was for electric fuel pump and the 22r was mechanical fuel pump.the 22r te was the turbo .

 

EFI head just has a block off plate where the mech fuel pump goes. I think the fuel pump "cam" is missing too..

 

very similar. you have to switch over the harness and computer and any little wire hookups. Im swapping my truck from a blown 22r to a 22re but changed the re to carbed cause one day i wanna go propane
