I need to know if an upper plenum from an 85 carb 22r will bolt to a lower plenum from an 84 efi 22re.
The 84 is a late motor, July of 84 if that makes a difference.
The reason for this: My original 22R in my 85 spun a bearing, needs full rebuild. Found a deal on freshly rebuilt 84 22RE, previously installed in an 85 so mounts, alternator, power steering have all been modified to work in my truck.
I don't have everything to convert to efi so I'm putting my carb in the motor but read that the holes do not line up where the lower '85 intake bolts to the '84 head. Can't just swap my 85 head on the 84 b/c of different head/deck heights.
So that's why I'm going to use the lower intake plenum from the 84 and the upper from the 85 - IF they can bolt together. I can't think of any other issues that would keep this from working.
