The 22R in my 1984 PickUp has amost 300K miles and is getting tired.
It is starting to use about 2.5 quarts over a 5000 mile period.
So I am considering a engine rebuild or 22RE engine replacement with or without the fuel injection.
I'm not looking for a big project here, I don't have a donor vehicle and it has been awhile getting famailar with the differances in the engines.

I would like to with a few basic questions hopefully the forum can answer:

1. Is there a write up on performing a 22RE install with cross-over to fuel injection to a previously non fuel injected truck ?
2. What all will I need from the Fuel injected vehicle to perform the cross-over ?
3. Does the intake manifold (carburated) or exhaust manifold swap over to the 22RE ?, as I remember one does the other does not.

There are a few differences in EFI and Carb, as well as motor differences from pre-84 and the 85-95 R/RE's.
If you want to use your exhaust on an EFI block, you'll have to find a 82-84 Celica to get the correct block. Otherwise, you'll be looking at an 85-95 block and need the exhaust manifold as well.
Best way to do the conversion is to have a donor vehicle - and a 2wd will work as well, except for the difference in oil pan/pickup tube, but you can use your current one for that.
If you want to keep the Carb, you'll need to find a pre-84 block for your intake to bolt on, otherwise find a 85-95 block and carb intake/exhaust manifold.
Hope this helps,
Todd

I found some postings by matts that gave a pretty amount of data on the subject. It can be found at: http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB11&Number=965519

2.5 quarts? Thats all? Thats not even a full oil change...before oil change...its fine! On a serious note though it seems to me that swapping from carb to efi is a fairly big project, especially without a donor vehicle. Collecting all of the necessary parts and wiring could be a pain. That said if you have a junkyard nearby then it might not be that bad if they have a vehicle that you could get all of the parts from, especially if they'll pull them off for you. The nicest thing about having a donor vehicle is being able to look at where the parts are installed and where the wires go, beats a wiring diagram anyday.
