I think your intake will fit just fine. Let me know if it doesn't I will send you an older style one.Good score on the early block. The most important question I think we all have is what color will you be painting the block? Color is very important to tuning you know .
Yes the stock rods are plenty strong. Lighter weight rods wouldn't hurt anything though so if you have the $$ and you want them...I typically spend about $160 on a block (tanked, checked, decked and bored), about $200 on a head (valves, repair or replace seats, springs, repair or replace guides, milled flat), A crank (turned down and balanced) is usually around $120.So I'm thinking about $500 for your machine work should be plenty.
Got off the phone with a shop here, and I was quoted about $1000That would include -cleaning -head job-bore and deck -crank cut-rods done -crank and flywheel balancedAnd that's it, pretty good I think. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I don't know your area. But that is awful high for a 22r. I just had a 509 gm engine done for 750. That was 2 heads rebuilt, valve job, check block, bore .030 and cleaned all of it up. The old machine shop I use locally would be in the ball park of 250-350 on a simple 4 cylinder like a 22r.
engnbldr kits are low low low. DNJ crap though. I like LCE because each component is from a different company with a mix of aftermarket and OEM. That means LCE set out to find the best part with a quality and price balance in mind. Some parts apparently should be substituted, for example a lot of guys will only run the OEM head gasket.
at that point, a reman is a few hundred more.
Man I have been getting a good deal up here.
We need good deal makers... like Trump.... have you thought about running for "office"?? LOL..Gnarls.
No I would be assassinated in the first few months of office. I figure I can do more damage living off grid and shaming people about going into debt.
Thanks everyone for all the replies, sorry for not being able to respond to everyone one by one. The shop I called has been around for awhile, the guy on the phone said they use to do tons of 22R's back in the day, which means they know these things. Which is always good. I forgot to add, but they would also balance the flywheel too, which is a huge plus. It's a lot of machine work, but I'm taking everything as if it needs to be done, the block might not need as much work as I think, there's stuff you just can't see with the human eye. It'll be awhile before I get the block and everything else in, I think I'll take the block first followed by the head and then I'll take the rest of the stuff later. I'll call other places and see too, I'll talk to some of the master techs where I work and see what they recommend.Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Hey Toybrota,Just to add a couple thoughts...If you have them balance the flywheel you might ask them to balance the pressure plate with it, that was the recommendation by my machine shop. A very reputable Toyota engine builder told me that I didn't need to balance a Toyota Factory crankshaft.Also, if that shop has experience with 22s, they should know to machine the timing chain cover with the block if they deck it. My shop only needed clean the top of the block deck about .006", but also machined my timing cover to match.My machine shop recommended a .020" overbore. One very reputable Toy engine builder did not recommend an overbore anymore than necessary. However, if could go back, I'd seriously consider doing a .060" overbore to get a little more displacement - I believe 79coyotefrg built a .060" over. I realize that it may make the block non- rebuildable again, but I don't plan on rebuilding it again, and I realize the cost for .060" pistons is more money. As I mentioned before, if I could go back, I'd rebuild my 22RE and convert it to a 22R - carb... then ask H8PVMNT if he would work his magic on a supertune!But if I could go back, I'd seriously consider a Chevy 4.3 Vortec... then while doing that mental exercise, I'd probably end up swapping in a V-8!!... I always wanted a V-8 in my Toy trucks. That swap is not completely out of the realm of possibility in the future.Gnarls.
