Yes I do have an '85 GL-10 wagon that's very clean and EJ22 swapped already. It's white with nicely tinted windows, etc. It's also got the rare red velour interior (the "pimp" interior) as well as a working digi-dash, etc. It was originally a 2WD 5 speed car but has been converted to 4WD 5 speed with dual-range.
It's running a '95 EJ22 with OBD-II. The engine has 95k miles on it and runs great. It was resealed and dressed with timing belts, etc when it was installed.
I have some wiring to do yet but it's almost ready for sale.
It has some parking dings and the front drivers corner could use a little work on the fender and hood or they could easily be swapped out for stock white replacements or repaired.

I'm likely going to ask $3k for it. It's quite nice and will make a great reliable car for many years. There's some things that it could use like struts and some rear disc brakes, etc but overall it's a really clean platform to start with and you don't find these GL-10's with the red interior - let alone EJ swapped.
Let me know if you want pictures, etc. My number is 5o3-88o-4o84

No point in rebuilding a 2.2 - it's not economically viable, and if your bottom end is good then there's really no point in not welding the key in place. What is stopping you from fixing it? Welding the key in place doesn't prevent dissasembly of the engine in any way - the oil pump drive is larger than the key/shaft combination and removal of the crank involves splitting the case so there's no drawback to welding it.

I have a set from an aircraft guy I know that have the equivelent of 5,000 miles on them since a full rebuild and look excellent. He upgraded to a more powerful engine....Shouldn't need anything done to them. I can surface them for you as well so they will be ready to bolt-on. I'll sell them for $150 for the set.
