4age silver top or 4agze?, serious about it Options

[Stambo]

I've been thinking about getting a different engine but not sure. Don't just say 3s swap and be done with it. I like the 4a series because they are such a legendary motor and free reving.

I'm going to be rebuilding an engine in my college mechanic course and i figured why rebuild a 350 when i can rebuild the engine that i actually will use in my car. Since either engine isn't to expensive, i would have money for some upgraded internals. I'm really only hoping for around 170-200whp.

My main question is. Which engine do you guys think would be better for autox? Supercharged would be sweet because all of the torque is right there. But, the silver top would be sweet because of the high revs it can take. I have the money but i really can't decide. I've heard the silvertop is a great for autox and the 4agze is great for street use.

So Culp
Would it be a waste of money to turn a 20v 4a/ silver top into a turbo charged monster. I guess I would have to admit a gze would be nice, but I like the extra 4 valves that comes with the 1.6. Would turboing the silvertop reduce it's revving capabilities

that has been done sucessfully, it just takes a better tuner to get the power out of it safely and more tweaking with the engine internals to make good power ( different pistons to lower CR, and stuff )
the 4agze comes forged from factory so it can take a decent amount of boost in stock form.

i was planning on getting the ae101 4agze which i think correct me if i'm wrong outa the levin's/corollas with the LSD.

you are correct.

what year / version ? big port ? small port ? are you planning to get.

Unlike most people, I like the small port ( newer ) 4agze.
