Norbie, you are quick to write off the 22R engine. I will admit that they aren't a very sporty engine by today's standards. BUT, i wouldn't write them off completely.
First, you say that they don't rev much. but the only reason i can see that you'd want lots of revs is for winding up the engine in every gear. i.e. with wide ratios, you'd get higher speeds.
Bigger engine's don't need to have the ring reved out of them to produce power. (not that they're much bigger than 1.6 or 2ltrs). higher reving engine have to get to the higher rev range to start pulling, but as the yanks have found, 22R-(T)E's pull from almost idle. it's what they're designed to do.
Second, you talk about conversions costing as much as $8k. I once priced a quad cam 3ltr V6 for my Mazda 929 and with fitting, pipe work and everything - $4k.
on ebay USA, i've seen a mild cam for the 22R-E, $45USD($60AUD) plus postage. porting the head gets done here. CT26 from a 7M-GTE from a wrecker and custom manafold and exhaust done local plus oil and water cooling lines. Ebay the injectors. Ebay a throttle body. I think 22R owners would still have a lot of change from there $4k...
But, i'm still researching the 22R-(T)E for now.
I don't know if you've ever done a 22R-E, but you're entitled to your opinion.
Also, 1G-GTE is a 6cyl.. higher rego.
each to there own, but personally i'd google search for jeff's 4x4 page. although it's American, and all about 4x4's, a worked engine is a worked engine no matter what car it's in.
