boring a b2200 1988

how big do i go? and is it going to give me the most power for the money?

mine is .40 over

.20-.40 is about all u can go before u start having headgasket problems,overheating etc.Mine is stock bore and stroke,.272 cam ,weber,aluminum crank pulley,stiffer valve springs ,aluminum keepers,ported head and manifolds,electric fan and itis putting out about 110-115 hp on high test.U are not going to win many drag races no matter what u do to a 2200 so do whatever is comfortable for u and not ruin the streetability of the truck.I use my truck frequently and it is very streetable.bj

i have absolutely no probs with mine being .40 over and i drive my truck alot every single day.

Why not just put a v8 in your ride probably cheaper in the end and you get way more bang for your buck.

damn i knew you were gonna chime in and say that. i seriously thought about it but i wanted my truck to be very streatable. and once i start tinkering with the v8s streetable goes out the window because i just cant help myself. already done this once to an s-10

If everything else is stock,u shouldnt have much of a problem going .40 over.Just be sure ur cooling system is in good shape.BJ

i thought of going v8 but knw one makes kit for a mazda. r do they? and i will be drivein my truck every day. plus u have to cut the fire wall to v8 a b2200
