How Long To Install A 22re Motor ?

[02Blazer]

as some of you know , my toy has been down for a while , so i thought it had some thing go wrong with the cylinder head ( broke valve spring , valve , etc..)

but finally got some xtra cash to fix it , so i called my mechanic over to my house to give it a look over and he said i either have a broken piston skirt or piston wrist pin ... so that means i gots to replace the engine , well i was just wondering how long does it take to pull a 22re and drop a new ( used ! ) one in ??? has anyone done something like this ??

Im not real ure if it was the same motor but my buddy has a truck kinda like yours except lifted and shit for trails and stuff like that. He put a new motor in his in a weekend hes isnt a mechanic or anything so for being 18 and 1 weekend if you know some people down to help maybe 1 full day of work.

swapping a motor really isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be..............

yeah it is ( the bagged truck in my avatar ) , just picked up the motor today , got a complete engine for $300.00 , my mechanic will put it in this next weekend , i REALLY can't wait , my truck is such a blast to drive , im literally sitting about 10-12'' of the ground cause its bodydropped and the seats are bolted to the floor , so im VERY , VERY low to the ground .. well i just hope my mechanic does the swap on sat. and finishes it that same day !!! so i can go for a nice sunday cruise .....................

yeah, its not that bad, worst part is making sure everything disconnected, goes back connected as it was

best friend in a engine swap is:

Polaroid camera, or digi cam

and zip lock bags, and permanent marker

you are right about the digital camera , ziplock bags , and sharpie (marker) !!!!! i still don't think i can put it back together thats why i am paying my mechanic to do it (side job for him , he's a master mechanic) . i am not afraid to say '' i can't do that and be 100% sure it will work '' . now if it's an enclosure , i can always buy another sheet of MDF , i don't want to have to buy another engine , i cant afford another one ......
