Cant be a 2.2.

The frontera block doesnt fit the xe head and the xe cannot be bored that much.

you can get 2.4....

QED sell a 2.2 block that can be bored to 2.4 capacity...

2200cc can also be attained by using the frontera crank to provide a different stroke

Ive read about people making 2.2 and 2.4 but i have never heard of anyone using an original xe block as muppet sport says the piston size would be to big.
