What possible problems might I run into if I attempt to install an '88
22RE head on my '87 22R engine? JerryPS If you'd prefer to answer this via e:mail, just take one of the zeroes out of my return address. jj
Being the newbie that I am, my next question is "What is a fuel pump boss?" jerry

It is cast into the head and machined to allow the mechanical fuel pump to be mounted where it can be driven by the camshaft.
Even if it the head doesn't have it you could still use the head by installing an electric fuel pump near the gas tank. (Electrics are pushers; not pullers) I did this on a VW van when I bought a fuel injected engine and put my progressive carburetor kit on it from the blown engine. I also installed a pressure regulator just before the carburetor to make sure the fuel pressure was close to the mechanical pumps output. I installed a good inline filter before the pump.
