befor i spend money on getting the block work done i need to know if it works or not

no 2.2 is 97 and 2200 is 98

It would work, if you change the crank and pistons. By the time you do that, you can just go and get another '98+ block (if your staying with a stock bottom end).

im planning on having a fully built forged bottom end. plus i already have the 97 block from my 97 rs i totaled last year

well the crank is even the same i used a 97 2.2 block in my 98 2200 car because i couldnt find one around me i just changed the pistons and head and called it good it was just a daily driver but i didnt have any problems



my kill list:a geo metro and a mac semi wow did i kill that thing

definitely have to use the 2200 pistons and head, but the block should be the same.

GL getting a forged crank BTW, forged rods are always good though.

(Additional Fee) Our forged crank also has a customizable crankshaft position sensor timing ring. With this we have the ability to advance your timing right off the crankshaft. You tell us that you want to advance the timing 2degrees, consider it done. Our forged crankshaft is made from 4340 forged steel and is knife edged. So for those worrying about bottom end stability, worry no more. With the customizable nature of our forged crankshaft and all the options available for aftermarket rods, jbody enthusiasts now have that performance edge that only JBP can provide.

I don't see anywhere where it says this crank is for the 2.2 or the 2200. Sounds like a total waste of money anyhow.

The crank position sensor notch are in different positions on the two cranks.

Rebuilding the Chevy 2.2L Engine, Doug Anderson, Automotive Rebuilder, July 2000 wrote:CRANKS
There have only been two crank castings used in the 2.2L engines, but one of them comes in two flavors, so it must be visually identified.

1990-‘95: These engines all used the 1237 casting.

1996-‘97: These engines came with the 4618 casting that is virtually identical to the earlier 1237. They are both interchangeable.

1998-'99: These engines still used the 4618 casting, but the timing notches were advanced by about 0.450", so the later crank can’t be interchanged with either of the earlier ones.


It’s easy to tell the difference between the two 4618 cranks when you see them side by side

With both cranks facing you and the keyways at 12 o’clock, note the location of the notch at the top of each reluctor wheel. If the right edge of the notch is about .500" to the left of the casting seam and located around 11 o’clock, it’s the early, retarded crank.

If the right edge of the notch is right next to the casting seam and nearly straight up at 12 o’clock, it’s the later, advanced crank that came out in 1998. Don’t mix them up, or you will have a comeback.
