    your mechanic is only half right. It depends on the 22r block. If you have the block that has the double timing chain its an easy swap, if it has a sligle row timing chain its not worth the swap.

    does your have the single or double row?

    oh in that case if u have a pre 85 block (Dual row chain) i think it might just be a drop on fit i know u have to use the intake off the 20r the 22r intake wont bolt up but the exuast will theres a few people that have done this swap... and u can do it with the 85+ blocks but requires machining
