so i think i might have to re build my motor. which means i will probably just buy a new one and start from there. but what my question is if i put a new 22re in mine then i wont have to change anything because its the same motor. although i have been talking it over and lookin at a DOA motor, or some kinda performance one. i dont know much about the workings of it so my question is if i switch out for a more powerful motor would i have to switch gears and stuff too or will i be able to drive it jus the same and have same off roading specs too. my brother made mention that a different motor might make my gear box wrong and i would have to re do it. can anyone shed some light or would i be able to just drop it in and be fine? since a performance motor is still a 22re or i might get the rte

 

Just because you put in a fresh motor with more power doesn`t have anything to do with what gears you have. The only time you would need to consider changing gears is if you added larger tires, otherwise nothing will change.

 

Before you buy from DOA hit up the search button and look at what kind of bad dealings people have had with them just givin you some friendly good advice.

 

got any other suggestions, beside LCE

 

putting in a more powerful motor wouldn't effect your gears. well what size tire do you have?

 

right now only 31.. but ill prolly go to 33 eventually

 

with 31s and a powerful new motor = no gear change
with 33s its wise to upgrade your gears to 488s

my problem is i need a turnkey, my engine might be shot so i need a drop in and dont feel like spending the money to put a stocker back in it just to want more power in a year or so.. but if i have to then i have to, and lce is just too expensive. and engine builder doesnt seem to sell drop ins, only build kits..

Add a set of 33's and 4.88's you would have a pretty stout truck reasonably priced most likely all cheaper then a DOA or LC motor alone. There are also a cpouple guy's running oregon engine rebuilder's motor's on here now maybe they will chime in and tell us if that motor is what it is claming to be.

 

yeah after reading about DOA i am pretty sure i wont deal with him. the oregon guys eems alright i might look into that a lil more and talk to them.. price is not as bad either.. only a few hundred more that a normal re built comes for. i wonder what performance mods would work good in their super stock motor

 

injection over carb and a header with 2" to the cat and 2 1/4 to the rear will make a differance

here's what they say there super stock has for $1,400

The following is a list of the performance options installed in this "SUPER-STOCK" long block engine: New hypereutectic pistons and wrist-pins, over-sized IN&EX swirl-polished, chrome tiped valves, torque RV Crane cam shaft with 425/IN and 440/EX lift, high volume oil pump and a rubber lined steel chain guide for the slack side. On top of all that, a NEW, (not remanufactured) heavy casting head, new timing cover and a full set of high quality gaskets!

 

guess its not too bad.. just wonder what type of driving its made for..

 

I am sure if that's your truck in your avatar you will have no issues with any kind of driving. I am thinking about it for my sas with 5.29's and 35x12.5's and the guy I talked to there assured me that it will be fine for that set up so I can imagine with your set up it would be great

 

yeah im not gettin super crazy or goin crawlin. its my daily driver too. so its alot of street but i liek to run a baja style too and take it out in the dunes and jump.. so its a big mix.

 

You may want to look into a long travel set up for jumpin that's gonna be way more then your new motor.

 

yeah but without my motor i cant jump it unless i coast down a hill and hit a jump

 

ha... new motor: MAX around 1800.... long travel suspension: 4500 and UP. LOL. (at least ive never seen em cheaper). im currently waiting to rebuild my 22re... im prob gonna use engnbldr parts, you should look into that too.
