4948cc's. Lets just put it this way, a 22RE is referred to as a 2.4 liter, plain and simple. As I told you when I first mentioned it, its for your good when ordering parts and the such, but you can call it a 2.3 as you like and be corrected, questioned, or otherwise.
As for unreasonable expectations, unloaded the truck accelerated as fast as I ever wanted it to. Brakes were NOT an issue, as it had some of the best brakes ever put on a truck prior to this last decade (four piston nissin calipers up front, if I remember correctly). It stopped like a sports car and went like a, well, horse and buggy. It was the one truck that all my friends have unbelievable memories of, even the big truck guys still revere it as a fundamentally the best truck they ever knew. I remember driving it back into a gulch to pull out a quad that I stuck with a farmer friend, and he had no clue what to say when we got back. He must have spent an hour trying to figure out how it did what it did. I driven a 2wd ford ranger (98?) with the 2.3L and it was not even in the same league, not even close. I have been disappointed with my current vehicle, the horribly capable chevy blazer (s-10). I have driven many other small trucks and its been hard to find that same small truck purposefulness, usefulness, and quality.
