I got the car I wanted back in the day....17 years l8r as a Father/Son project car. I read your rules and crawled all over your huge site. I found lots of great information.

I found a really straight car for 500 and am now looking at a JDM 7A-FE but I was unsuccessful at finding this seemingly str8 forward swap on your site. I've sifted through TONS of great and helpful information tho. My only other swap experience was a Mazda Rotary into a 4wd Suzuki Samurai.

I got the distributor type JDM located, I'm waiting to hear if the injectors are on the intake or head. I have a new head, but with a bad rod bearing I don't want to risk contaminating the newer engine.

Any help would be appreciated, I'll continue to search your site for more information.

a 4age out of a celica requires like 3 mire changes and it bolts in.. plus you get an extra 60+ hp... good option IMO esp if he doesnt need the car ASAP.


but to answer your question again, just tear both motors down to the bare block and swap all accessories and the harness off your motor to the jdm one, including the distributor.

btw the 7afe is notorious for burning oil and blowing smoke.
