My kid, 14, got a sweet 85 toy this summer, clean! Has a fiberglass shell on since new and mostly garaged. But at 286K the gal ran it out of oil... we put in three quarts, turned the motor over by hand then cranked and it started, but was noisy. So it needs a rebuild at least, probably new head I think I read in the FAQ somewhere there are no bearings on the head for the cam.
So a Friend has a 4.3L that ran and smoked, needs a rebuild but comes with headers for a Toy, oil pan for IFS and aluminum carb intake. I could resell the oil pan and intake towards fuel injection, still need an adapter or I saw a NWOR bellhousing clutch adapter but price was $700.?
Should we rebuild the 22r? Or rebuild the 4.3L? Or am I missing an easier low budget engine swap?
