Gloyale Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Blocks are interchangeable. Single exhaust port engine actually has a better low end if you ask me. It is just more powerful all toghether, seemingly, and features roller rockers:grin:. You may want to go back to the earlier heads if that 2.2 is later than 97 (you don't want an interference timing belt setup on an offroader). If it is a 95 or 96, you are golden.

Scott in Bellingham Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Single exhaust port engine actually has a better low end if you ask me. . anyone else support this thought ? I remember on the old VW bugs the older simpler engines seem to have more lowend , Ill have to look into what I got thinking this engine should get a carb and go in a light sand/woods buggy SJR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
