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.

Those are the 20V 4AGE engines, and you need the ECU, plus they were a bit overrated by toyota. they don't make as much power as them claim. But they are still very good engines, But if your going to buy a $AGe from an importer (which typically cost anywhere from 900-1400 dpending on silvertop or blacktop) you may as well just spend the extra 200 or so and get the 3SGTE.
