95 block into 02??
Monday, December 31, 2007 10:54 PM
Will the OHV 2.2 from a 95 cavy work in an 02 OHV cavy. J/w if there are any differences in the block. I want to build a motor to swap into my car. I didn't think there was but i wanted to make sure. Thanks guys.

horsepower is the force that determines at what speed you hit the wall, torque is the force that determines how far you take the wall with you after you hit it.

There are A LOT of difference in the engine. First of all, the 95 uses an OBD1 computer system, it doesnt have a cam sensor in the block, the flow for the coolant is reversed after 1997, the combustion chamber on the head has a different shape, the rocker arms are different ratios, and the 2200 rocker arms are self-aligining. The valve stems are different sizes. There are so many differences. Not inclusing the different fuel systems, and intake manifolds/ tb's.

im saying just the block, nothing else.

i know the top half is completly different, but are the blocks the same?

Cooling system flow is different on 98+

Could be just me, but it would seem he answered that question for you.

Hey, I've got a '00 long block from a S-truck with only ten miles on it. I got it from a guy who got it from a "fleeter" dime that fell off the truck, literally! I was gonna use it in my '94 S-10 but found there were too many differences between the years, so it ended-up just being a recipicating lower end rebuild (crank, bearings, oil pump, etc.). You'll hafta come pick it up, and pay cash for it as it's sitting in a friend's garage and we can't deliver. I've pulled the head off it just to check the hatch in the bores and the carbon on the slugs, but it checked out as true to the seller's claim & I've wire-wheeled them just to clean them off. So all it'll need aside from the necessary anciliaries (manifolds, ignition, accessories) is a head gasket (i'd shoot for a Cometic MLS if I were you, just to be safe). I live in southern Dupage county, IL (That's Chicagoland to you outsiders) so PM me and we'll talk!

Go beyond the "bolt-on".

Isn't the starter on the opposite side on the RWD block?

yes it is.

Depends what you mean: While standing by the engine's bellhousing mating face surface facing towards the block, is the starter mounting surface on the lefthand or righthand side of the block perspectively? Is it upon a flat surface that faces downward from the engine's top? That juts at a 90* angle from the block side at the rear of the cylinder row with threaded holes in it that are at a perpendicular angle relative to the starter's mounting surface? That's how it's mounted upon the RWD issue version of the block, and as far as all my info tells me that's how it's mounted on all LN2s regardless of app.

Actually, the real worry is the head: The coolant outlet/thermostat housing is on the opposite end! No worries actually, since as long as the threads for the FWD app outlet/housing are already drilled and tapped all you should need to do is install a freeze plug at the other end to cover the big hole and maybe some threaded plugs in the tapped holes with Loctite if they're not blind. Other than that, it's a bolt-in!
