Use AEM cam gears. You'll pay for them, but you can get a variety of colors. That's fairly cheap for cams, and probably the way I will go. And yea, I have heard about the 2zz rods, pistons, and even crank being very close to a 7a fit. A bit out of my price range for now though.

I see what you mean about Velocity. It never crossed my mind That explains the tivis 'increasing velocity'... I have large port parts available to me. I don't know where I would look to find a small port head and intake. they cane in the late rollas before they started using the 7a right?

Ehh... I'm not too keen on AEM's quality... but I might just end up going that way.

Anyway, smallports came only in the 90-91 Corolla GTS and the 90-92 Geo Prizm GSI. The 92 Prizm GSI were actually MAP sensored, the ONLY MAP sensored 4AGE in the united states. That'll be the best bet if you want to go that route... but you can source a head from any of those engines. Also, a LOT of the JDM 4AGs were smallports. Most JDM engine places or used engine places do carry the smallport 4AGs. Might as well get a complete one so you get the pistons and everything... unless of course you wanna go with aftermarket higher compression pistons. A simple tell-tale sign is the intake manifold... which doesn't say TVIS on it. I also have a parts guy that can hook you up with a smallport head for something like 200 shipped. I forget his price exactly... but yeah. In the 200-250 neighborhood. Bigports are usually a lot cheaper... but smallports have better buildability.

I'm going to look around the local junk yard tomorrow. If I can get the big port hella cheap, that's what I'm going to do. I mean, if it's $50 I just can't pass it up. That extra $150 is hard to come buy, but I appreciate the offer.

That's cool. In that case... I have a spare bigport head complete if you're interested in the future. 100 shipped... =D

I'm pretty sure my parts guy Max quoted something like 225 or 250 shipped. Not sure if that includes an intake manifold and/or crank pulley but I have a crank pulley and an intake manifold (manifold might be going to another member though). I can give you his e-mail if you're interested.

You are going to need programmable engine management anyway because of the turbo, and since you don't have a wiring harness this is a perfect opportunity. If contact the guy a www.4AGTE.com or .net he can help you out, and I know some other people as well. Too bad you don't live close otherwise I could hook you up. -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com
