find a stock '86-'87 2RET?????
pretty sure the 22ret's had different combustion chambers (or so i've heard), and have the holes drilled for the oil (known as LAZER block), had lower compression pistons, and i know im missing other stuff..im no expert by any means..lmao but i know a little..lol

why get your own block drilled by a shop that probably hasn't ever done it before..when you can get a perfectly fine block drilled from the factory for the turbo..lol just makin it easier..at least in my opinion i am

I was planning on rebuilding the block with low compression pistons and H beam rods. I am looking for how much boost I could run and were is a good place to drill the holes in the block for the oil. I like run as boost as it take. i am building this truck into a prerunner for the sand dunes. I like to keep the 22re instead of putting a v6 or v8 in it, because that is to easy to make more power. plus i like that turbo sound! if I can find a turbo block for sale somewhere by me I will go for that. I already knew of LCengineering.com is there other sites to look at for parts? Thanks for the help
