Real time: Lets talk about the 20/22R Hybrid!

Well, thanks to a PO I suspect used brake fluid instead of oil!


I'm doing an engine swap with my weekend!




I have a couple of questions, some regarding the swap some maybe not. To let you know where I stand I have heard about the swap but when I've asked about some details I'm not getting the answers I need to hear.

Below are some pics one of what I call "crowned" or "crown top" pistons and below it are standard 22RE pistons. The crown top I discovered after pulling the head on an 84 carb 2WD I bought. But you know PO's . That could be another motor. This block and any prior to it I have no experience with.


The above is new to me pistons, the below I have seen in countless both R and RE models.


Is the crown top block the one I want with the 20R head?
Is there a way to measure deck heights so I know what chain to get and that I don't need machining? At this time I don't have $ for it.
Will the intake off the current 22(?)R I'm pulling fit the 20R head?
If not will the 22R carb fit the 20R intake manifold I have?


more will come no doubt, ADD break!


thanks!
