    i think im gonna build a new motor for my 85 xtra cab from scratch over the summer. ill be on a pretty tight budget but ive got tons of time to get the build done. im asking what, in your opinion, would be the best route to go? i was thinking of a 22re 20r head with a custom turbo because of how easy it is to find parts. anyone got any other suggestions?

    i dont think you can run the 22re block with the 20r head, it has to be an early version of the 22r most likely a carbureated 22r block

    for 150 picked up you can have my 22re everything related to the engine (including trans) in the engine bay.
    Motor needs rebuilt as it has a knock now.
