please let me know if it does give you more power cuz i had ppl say the same thing and i have a 20r motor sittin around i would so do it if it did give more POWER!!!!
Block is painted ford blue again.
ok so I got the valves all set up so they dont hit the pistons. Its crazy how you have to set the valves ONE CERTAIN WAY, or else nothing will work right. You rotate the engine two full turns and stop at TDC, set 1 valve. Turn it 2 times over again stopping at TDC, set the next valve. Turn it over 2 times again, set the next valve...and so on. This is a superior way of setting the valve lash, compared to setting the motor to TDC and setting all the loose rocker arms...turn it over 360, and set the other loose ones. This is INCORRECT and VERY inaccurate.Next step is dialing in my adjustabe cam gear.
..........all of the rocker arm adjusting screws line up very well with the tips of the valve stems. you can see how i used the ends of some rocker arm shaft springs as spacers to line up the rocker arms with the cam lobes, and the rocker arm adjusting screws with the tips of the valves.
Care to elaborate on why the way the fsm calls to set valve specs is wrong? Not saying it isnt, but would like to know why.
You're not supposed to have the adjusting screw dead-center on the valve, so the valve spins a little to wear evenly, right? That looks centered to me.
looks like it needs a .020 shim between the rocker stand and the spacer
I picked up an intake manifold off of a old Toyota Corona. Its lacking some coolant passages that my cylinder head has.Is the correct manifold off of a old truck?
TRY IT BEFORE YOU GET ALL SKEPTICAL. disclaimer: everything that I say and describe has been learned from LOTS and LOTS of experience, and first hand results and mistakes. Ive been doing this for a long ass time.

Oh, how have I missed this most magical of threads? I will be joining the ranks of hybrid engine rigs soon; my 84-ish 22R tossed a crank bearing and I scored a complete 20R for free and have been thinking about this build for quite a while. This is the technical info I have been looking for! I don't want to overbore the block (will lose compression, right?), deck the head a bunch (just make it flush again), use the wrong valves or anything else wrong. I have my evil plan posted in my build but basically I'm planning on:20R head, cleaned up, ported, engnbldr O/S valves ($58/set), find a way to replace that plate at the back of the head since I don't believe in EGR/emissions22R block, hopefully just honed (slight bore if needed), regrind crank due to bad bearing, double row timingport intake as described above, 22R carb ('cause I already got one), new oil/water pumps and steel timing guides, engnbldr master rebuild kit and his 261 crawler cam 'cause that's what seems to be working for people.If anything is screwy, please let me know... I am totally open to suggestions etc.>>Dan

How about boosting these; are there any blow-through carbs out there? I have a CT20 laying around that wants to do something besides collect dust.
