Z22 parts

[bob72gts]

I bought a Z22 so that I can build my L22 here are the parts that I don't need. Story I got from the previous owner of the engine is that it ran decent but had lots of blow-by and needed rings. Engine came out of a 720 4x4.

 

Cylinder head casting 07W looks like it has never been resurfaced. $35

 

 

 

 

 

 

valve cover $20

 

 

timing cover no pics but in good shape, haven't removed it from the block yet $15

 

all prices plus shipping

Check the bore for excess wear. If too far gone bore to 89mm and slip used Z24 pistons on L20B rods in it for an LZ23.

There was no ridge in the bore so I think I can get away with just rings bearings gaskets. Plan on using my Comp Cams 280S if I remember right it is .460" lift. It ran real strong in my L20B with header, closed chamber head and 40 DCOE on cannon intake. Sounded like half of a SBC at idle. That engine got Nuked by a cracked radiator(I know better but I drove it anyway) I will probably need more carb for the L22 but at least I can get it running on the 40. I picked up one of those 4bbl. Offenhauser intakes several years ago............ hey if I run that with a 390 Holley maybe I can use my Nitrous plate, and a short time after that maybe I can inspect the rods without pulling the oil pan. :) Anyway what head would you recommend? I probably won't drive it during the summertime and if I do there is 100 octane on the pumps at a few places here in town. 5.99/gal. Ouch.

U-67 is an L20B head with pretty big ports and valves plus same square exhaust ports as the L16. I'd run a 32/36 maybe.
