Exactly how am I supposed to buy a Japanese 22R engine block from
Japan, when not a single engine importer handles them?

THis sounds like one of those old stories that go something like:

"My brother-in-law knew this guy, his uncle had a friend
who knew how to buy those ww2 surplus jeeps, brand-new
still packed in cosmoline, for a hundred bucks. No
kidding, would I lie to you?"

The 20R and later the 22R weren't just car and truck motors. I've seen
them powering forklifts, towable generators, and other industrial
equipment. For all I know the engine may still be in production even
though it's obsolete for automotive use. Where on earth did you get the
idea that an engine for a twenty year old truck had to *be* twenty years
old?
