81 22r engine swap in to 87 22r
« on: Dec 15, 2013, 01:29:01 PM »
Might be swaping an older 81' 22r into my 87' truck.
 I was wondering if anyone had any experience doing a similiar changeover.

power steering brackets are slightly different so use what works, but when aparts make sure the throw out bearing is the same height, I dont think it applys here, but ive put a efi throw bearing in a carb truck and it was to long and would not fully disengage the clutch, change the lower alternator bracket for your style alt

other than that some sensors or plugs styles will differ
