What would you slide an SB2.2 inside?

I must not pay too much attention, but with all of the “LSx this!” and “Duuuuude you gotta LS that!” noise, I totally missed the the SB2.2 engine. NASCAR heads you buy for your gen 1 small block and do 9,000 rpm.

Yes, those heads like to breathe deep and aren’t for torque. They are for all of your RPM dreams. Throw them on a 440 cubic inch chevy and you have 920hp@7900. They are straight up brutal, and that video above can prove it; an sb2.2 in a 4g Camaro. What with the needle quite a bit past the number 8 and lots of wheelspin.

An LS is much cheaper. Definitely. The power per dollar is certainly more favorable. But that extra step in the thrill, intoxicating noise, and lofty power without a nitro button or bewst , will set you back probably near $18k to do it right, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! I’d probably want it that way to ensure things stay together at near if not above 9,000rpm.

Makes anyone want to step back, waiting for flying parts. (and that’s about 800 at the crank in a hot hot space)

So what would you put the Gen 1 sbc2.2 in instead of the LSx?

Havent watched the vid yet but, I believe the proper answer for any V8's swap is a box body Chevy S-10. Instant death machine.

They are currently using R07 engines so SB2 and SB2.2 are somewhat available. the R07 doesn’t share much with anything else so SB2.2 seems to the final race engine sharing parts with the older SBCs.

Apparently neither of these isn’t well suited for street use. The port are useful for very high engine speeds but in more sensible speeds the regular 18 and 23 degree heads are known to perform better.

SB2 head (SB2.2 has some dimensional differences but you cannot see these from a picture)

R07 head (the ports are still untouched in the pictures)

I’m not a V8 guy, but it does sound sweet, and having all that power up top must be interesting. That said, fuck that driver in the POV video for doing this on public roads where he obviously can’t keep it on his side of the yellow lines.

I’ve always wanted to do this in a box Chevy S-10, but in the bed. A mid-engine, road racing, stock appearing 2-tone red over white over red box S-10. I get the fizzy sensation just thinking about it.

We don’t all say to LS stuff, for me it’s usually K20x all the things. And while my uncle LS-swaps a 1986 300ZX, I say screw that and want to 2JZ swap a Mk3 Supra to combat it.

I would stuck it in this. I know boring but since I actually own one I don’t care.

There’s lots of things to swap. I just found the bmw m50 into a malaise era corvette for Lemons racing really interesting. I just saw a turbo rotary in a factory5 818. I’d love to find a nice place for a throttle bodied KLDE Mazda. But with something this high strung yet still domestic, I wonder how that s2000 would go, or an early BoxterS with this thing.....

Nevermind that the bike is physically smaller than the engine. Don’t crush my dreams.

Miata is the answer.....but....800hp+ and 9k+ rpm.....That’s a lot of funs. 8x the standard power and 50% more rpm....
