Thats a pretty hard swap. Why not do a dual cam 4ag, and turbo it?

You can use a 4A-G with 16valve or 20valve. They're good. But they dont bolt-in directly to your SR5. There's a minor modifaction that needs to be done to your engine bay in order for the 4A-G to fit.

How much $$$ are you thinking of forking out? It better be more than 2K

Every 4a swap is easy into a ae86. Atleast for me. 20v swap is the hardest but it still wasnt that bad. I have a blacktop 20v myself and the only hard part was forking out $2500. 4a swaps are all bolt in. Just minor mod to firewall for 20v and thats it. If you got brains and have a couple years of real engine work experience its a breeze.

you could but the 4ac block is weak. Just get a 16v. I'll sell you one if you come get it.

Why dont u just buy 16v? there cheap as hell. OR go buy a gts. A gts conversion to a sr5 is probably to much work for you.

If I were you I'd just use a FWD high comp and make the work worth it. If you can find a 90-91 corolla gts or a geo prizm GSI then go for it.

You can use the RWD accessories from the 4ac to get it in right. If you don't feel like doing the wiring/fuel system you can go with carbs (which are badass IMO). If you wanna PM me again I can fill you in on the swap. A high comp that can breathe well is alot of fun. They also use the strongest 16v block. here's a little info from club4ag:

------
4A-GE 16 valve with Carburetors

Provides flexibility and ease of replacement. The sounds emanating from it when properly tuned cannot be beat. Popular conversions include Mikuni-Solex, and Weber applications. In Japan, Keihin FCR carburetors from motorcycles, allow it to put out 170hp at 8500rpm. More on carbing a 4ag: http://www.club4ag.com/faq%20and%20t...he%204A-GE.htm
-------

Also, this article might help you: http://www.club4ag.com/faq%20and%20t...of%204A-GE.htm

Here's a page about the original 16v you might find interesting : http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Garage/8422/4age.htm

The difference between 4ac and 4ag is insane. You'll love it if you like the 4ac already.

mmmmmm carbs:

LISTEN UP!!! Most of the people on here seem to be trend followers. They reply about a subject they know nothing about. The SR5 bottom end is not weaker, but in most cases is actually stronger than a 16V bottom end. The 4AGZE drops right onto the SR5 engine mounts. Not a problem. Decide wheter you are more interested in

1)-4AGZE
2)-4AGE 16V
3)-4AC bottom with 16V head

I can tell you just about anything you need to know to swap anyone of these motors. I won't give you shyt or make fun of you if you don't know something. Please don't judge me by my number of posts. I have three 86s, so you can trust that I won't misinform you like a lot of these other people seem to be doing.

chill out man. I see you on club 4ag, so i'm sure you are more knowledgeable in this area too. Don't be offended, because you know what kind of people i'm talking about... and you don't seem to be one of them.

haha

It depends on how well you do with a wrench in your hand is all. If your good with wiring, you can do either the 20valve or GZE. If your not good with wiring get a bluetop or redtop. If you dont have alot of money, wait till you do and get a bluetop from someone local who has done a swap.

Alright thanks, I heard alot of bad stuff about AGZE so im prolly not going to go with that, im not much a power freak anywayz. I am thinking more carbs because i know a few people with fuel injected and they dont like to work. and My money is short now, but when i do the swap im going to spend in the 2K range, but thats the swap, pumpkin and axle hubs. and drive shaft yoke
