Some Z22 questions

[Williespeed]

I've got a 1982 720 I just picked up, and I am looking at the Weber 32/36 to make the thing run right. It has 229k on the clock so I will need to tighten it up soon and I have been wondering about what the best option for what I want would be. Key to the build would be reliability and fuel economy as it is a commuter first and a wheeler snow rig second. so what would you all recommend? Datzenmike had some good advice saying that if used the 2.2e pistons to turbo I would most likely always be on the turbo because the low compression would be a dog without the turbo spooled up. Is the purpose of putting a l head just for higher revs or because it will take the higher lift cams? Also where is a good place to source parts for the Z motors. Thanks for the help.

Can you put the KA24DE head on a Z22 what did the KA24DE come in and what years and does it have the same bolt pattern for the bell housing as the Z motors for that matter are the L motors the same bolt pattern?

For reliablity, power & economy all in one, repair the fuel injection.
