So, the logical next move: cut out a piece of the bad engine’s oil pan and use it to fabricate an adapter that would enable the 20R’s Holley carburetor to bolt onto the 22R’s intake manifold.

The old 22R had plenty of induction noise with its wheezing carb; it would only be fitting to hear the mechanicals in the new model while click-clacking through a 6MT. Anyway, yeah. The 22RE is ...

The 20R and 22R engines are carbureted. The carburetor-equipped 20R was only used for the first couple years until replaced by the carb-fed 22R, which earned a spot under the hood until 1988.
