...Seems to be contender for "Understatment of the year". found only two examples, can't seem to get in touch with the builders :D . doing the work is not an issue, got some experience in the field. 186 in hilux, later a 202, then fixed a mates dodgy 253 v8 fit in 720 datto. most else i've done is generally straight forward blasphemy and better not mentioned here. (almost put a 360 AMG from Rambler in a Crown, couldn't find a suitable Crown at the time.) I can do the work myself, sorting probs as i go, would rather sort the probs BEFORE i go. hence the thread. Have been researching as much as i can but can't find stats and figures for "anything" r "whatever"! seems noone cares for them. Are these engines really hated so? met a bloke who has one (22re) in a T.E. gemini, low 14 sec pass any day of the week, factory spec with a manual g'box! I reckon they can't be all bad. Any info of any sort for a later model (1986) 22RE would be welcome, cheers.

thanks brad. I think i should explain what i am looking for a bit better. i am no stranger to engine swaps or autoblasphemies in general. Details i seek, pics or diagrams of a finished or in progress conversion would be great, starting with those engine mounts. (they look like little skyscrapers!) E.F.I. is a strange animal to me, how do i wire it in and power the brain box? this is my first non carb motor. i have a fuel pump from a v.l. commdoor and got some high pressure lines. what else will i need? can i throw the 2 piece drive shaft and slide in a full length? or is the centre bearing somehow needed? any sheet metal work to be done? or is the trans tunnel and everything else suitably out of the way? will i have to modify or swap out the oil sump? any other possible dramas? my previous rides were 1970's metal mountains, HQ's are a different language to ke70's. i'm new at this blog thing, hope this works.

greetings all. i have a stock 82 ke70 with a buggered g'box. sad. i also have a 22re with happy g'box. i am aiming the 22re at the ke70. i would greatly appreciate any info from anyone who has done this before. your out there, i've seen photos. any info, stats & figures, advice etc on the 22re would be received with a smile. thanks.
