Ok so my 96 2.2 has 162 thousand miles on it and i can tell she's getting tired so i was thinking about doing a rebuild not a swap. my plan is to do the 98 2200 pistons to bump the compression on my old 2.2. P&P my head/intake figured i would do this my self, roller rockers,cam and maybe do a TB upgrade/swap
Plans consist of a N/A build thats all.
So my question are:
What should i watch out for on P&Ping the head/intake?
Do i have to use the 2200 rods with the pistons or can i just use the 2200 pistons?
Is this a TB upgrade for our cars or had someone done a TB swap be4 on the 2.2?
What is a good size cam for the 2.2?
Can i use SBC roller rockers w/o any mods to make them fit? or would i need narrow body rockers?
Getting the block and head decked.
Fresh .030 over bore
What are some good links for getting some upgrade on the 2.2?
I have a hole in my tranny was thinking while the cavie is down putting a TG LSD in or swaping to a 5spd getrag outa a calais so is there a adapter plate i would need to do the getrag swap?
1) Make sure you do it right if you do it yourself. Learn about it first and make sure you have the proper equipment. And do not remove the vane in the exhaust ports.
2) No.
3) No upgrade available. But you could always make a custom plenum and add the TB of your choice.
4) You will most likely need to have a custom grind done.
5) No.
Here is what you should read.

Useless post. Some of us are fine with the 2.2.

Eh, on second guess, just leave it alone. You post this twice asking what you can do, You are told what you need to do. But you must feel there is some magical horsepower mod you can do to go super fast.
I have answered your question twice, along with others. These motors are not the easiest to get/make parts for.
