i see... i'm trying to look for the one that came out of a 91-92 expo van... well, based on the engine list, it came from the 91-92 expo van... and yes, it is fwd... so do you think my best bet of getting the engine is by asking someone who has a direct contact to japan or something?

when you find a source for these engines.....you let the rest of us kids know....ok?! either that or i throw my spare dodge 2.5 in there with an adapter kit (if i could even get one made).

according the list, those expo spec engines have roller cams. i know they were the cats meow on the dodge k cars (2.2/2.5) when they went went that route in 1988. 30% less friction at cruising rpm and like 70% reduction at idle. they could run a slightly milder camshaft with no loss in performance and even deleted the cam oil squirters a couple years later because normal oil flow through the top end provided plenty of lubrication.

roller cams & a simple (lower rpm favoring) 8 valve non-interference cylinder head on a long stroke engine.....it's the perfect power plant for a daily driver mini pickup!

yep! that's why i'm going for that engine... take out the efi system, slap in a pair of my twin side carbies and i have myself a simple, reliable, and fun engine on my 1st gen lancer...
