GM 122 Engine - 2.0 L OHV

2.0 L OHV

A bored and stroked version of the 1.8 L engine, displacing 2.0 L, was introduced midway through 1982, to provide more low-rpm power for the J cars. This engine was also used in the Chevrolet S-10 and GMC S-15 compact pickup trucks and their Blazer and Jimmy counterparts until 1985, when they were replaced by the 2.5 L Tech IV engine. Using a 2-barrel carburetor, this engine produced 88 horsepower (66 kW) in the J cars, and 83 horsepower in the S-Series trucks. For 1983, this engine replaced the 1.8 L engine altogether and, for the J cars only, gained throttle body fuel injection, producing 86 horsepower (64 kW). This engine was used until 1989, producing 90 horsepower (67 kW) and 108 lb·ft (146 N·m) of torque when it was discontinued.
