You can use even intake one - if you get FWD 4AGE engine (for AE86 intake match you must get bigport engine).

[Apolan]

how about other fwd engines (2a,3a,7a)? and will t50 fit them plug and play?

99% yes.
Tested "reversed" - fitted 4A on EE80 with 2A engine (FWD 1.3).

so to sum it up - i can get any A-series engine (unless its a smallport 4ag) and use my (4ag RWD) engine mounts, my t50 tranny, and my intake and exhaust manifold? and it will be plug and play? what about the wireing? yes?

You can use any A-engine with your T50.
If this is 4AGE engine - AE86 exhaust will fit. If this is bigport 4AGE engine - intake will fit too.
About wireing - 2A and 3A will be carburator-powered, 4A and 7A can be carburator or EFI powered. Harness will be plug and play only if you get the same type engine (as in your car at the moment).

It will be a difficult swap if you're not swapping in a 4AGE or something running the same head. Using the head on just any a series is not possible, you need at the very least to swap over the pistons with the 4valve cutouts. 4AFE etc will be just as expensive and a bitch to wire in..not impossible though. I'd say stick with the 4A-GE..been hearing rumours about a ae86 in Croatia soon to receive a nissan engine..might be worth your while to inform with Zax whether he has an engine left.
Plenty of 4A-GE's here in Holland, but i think shipping would kill you. Why not inform around with some truck drivers around Ljubljana that make trips to Holland? Wouldn't mind helping you out with acquiering the engine and loading it onto the truck.

yep i see.. i know 4ag is the easiest thing to go for, but there is just none of them here. unbelivable.

i have this urge to fix up my car for the winter. i really want to have soome winter fun this year, so i need to fix/buy engine for less 400 eur.. i'll super-build my car later with all the fancy parts, when i have the money. but i just must not miss out on the fun. it means teh world to me.

Much thanks for your willingnes to help. I will ask a trucker i know if hell be doing any trips to holland anytime soon, an i'll let you know.

To be exact: the smallport is OK only the intake which is different. Wiring too, but as it is stated above every engine different from the one type you have in your car ATM needs different wiring.
