 Well - I guess this is as good a place as any to hi-jack a thread!

Per the earlier message - I'm really close to buying a built 900 series motor from a 74 Elite.  I know they didn't go to the 2.2 until 80 but this has been rebuilt (and never run!!) with head work, Dells, 9.5 pistons, etc.  We don't know if it's the 2.2 but it was rebuilt in the late 80's or early 90's so I'm betting it is.  I'm getting some pics of the motor tonite and might get it as early as next week. 

Other than the oil pan - what would I need to change to drop this into my JH? 

I'm thinking the Toyota conversion is a must. . .even though the car has a 4spd with only 50K miles on it. . .
