Toyota engine parts interchange
I have a couple Toyota 22REs I am trying to build into one working engine, but I don't know if this will actually work.
One is an 84, looks almost like the earlier carbed engines, but it has EFI on it.
The second is an 85, with the full 22RE look.
The 84 has a trashed crank, and the head on the 85 is bad, so I want to put the head from the 84 on the 85 block. The only problem I am running into is with the pistons and combustion chambers-
The 84 head has huge hemi chambers, the pistons pop up a long ways out of the block, but they have a pretty decent dish to them.
I don't have the 85 head here to compare the chamber size, the pistons don't pop up anywhere near as far, but they don't have a dish to them.
I do know the exhaust ports are majorly different between the two, so I am already aware of the external difference.
Can I use this head on this block and still have the thing run right, or is it going to have really low compression?

Well, I was able to get a little info by inferrance from LCEngineering- the earlier head has a chamber about 30ccs larger, so without any boost, it would be kinda pointless to do this, the thing won't be able to get out of it's own way.
