2AZFE? Options

[uberschall]

primarily for conversation...

seeing as the 2AZFE has assumed the role of replacement for the 5SFE, and it is similar in application and displacement....how feasible/worthwhile is a swap in your opinion?

i got to thinking about it because it is a much better 6-speed option than the peaky, fragile 2ZZ.

based on a quick browse on ebay, the highest price i found for the motor itself was $1700.

and for pete's sake, don't be obnoxious.

don't be so narrow cause you can't slap on a tranny...oh noes!
its not too hard to relocate a tranny mount if need be

i mean your swapping a motor and your saying no because of a tranny mount?

do more research

thats exactly what i'm saying, research won't prepare you for when you cut the **** out of a celi, weld in some mounts then because of that something interferes with something or axles don't fit, shifter cables don't reach, stuff doesn't line up and one thing f-cks up annother and everything becomes one big as-s disaster.
This isn't body work where every part is passive , this is high profile mecanical engineering
Yeah sure you "can" make it work but by that time you're getting into a franken swap type of job and you might as well put a jet engine connected to your rear wheels.... only with a 2AZ you'd have 25HP more, still FWD, still a 4 banger. (not putting the 2AZ down, just pointing out that if you're about to do a monster garage type of swap, might as well get something better)

A "feasable" swap is something that can be done with little or no modification to a car.
This is NOT feasable, unless someone comes up with clear and accurate information about the bolt patern AND mount locations and in the case of mounts not fitting, XYZ dimensions, axle lengths, axle splines at both ends -does the E-35 axles fit our hub.... maybe, but probly not, even if they do they are most likely not the right length. so custom axles, custom tranny/motor mount, custom shifter cables, custom misc. part that didn't fit... get my drift?

It's never been done and the foundation for this swap is not looking very solid (speaking of information/research material)
