toyota project need info and help

Hi

I was given the following : A blue top twincam 16v head with T-VIS intake<big> with injectors + loom .i was also given the distrubutor ... still waiting twincam Computer box from a friend


planing on getting a second car

now the Question is i have a 4AF<corrolla>
i did some asking around and read and i am told that the block is the same that the head will fit
with out any problems...

but my concern is the pistons is it the same or does that need to be replaced or what more needs to be replaced




like i say this will be a project thing as i am planning on buying another car

I doubt the 4afe block is the same as the 4age engine.. it is very similar though, and the 4age head might fit..
If I'm not mistaken the crank has a bolt less for the flywheel, and the pistons should be different too.

BTW, I removed your other (double) posts, no need for those on this relatively small forum :wink:

Won't it basically be the same as with the 7-afe or am I mistaken here. Maybe someone who has put together a 7-age knows a bit more about whether it'll fit and what needs to be adapted...

And isn't it better to spent a bit more money and actually get a 7-afe to do a 7-age conversion, because it doens't seem very...usefull to use a 4-afe block with a 4-age head. At least with the 7-afe you get more torque. But then again, if you have to make do with what you have that's not an option I guess...

i basically have all this lying around at home...and was thinking of starting this...

so would it work to put the $age pistons in that block and do the block over

I also have a 4AC Block lying here ...whats the difference

[jamiemirror]

You can use either 4AC or 4AF block. You will need 4AGE crank, rods, pistons, head (at least). You can use AC-AF crank and rods at your own risk.

[Max_toy]

ok so i can either use the 4AC or 4Af
so if i should get the 4AGE crank,rods,pistons and the gaskets
it will fit right in....

[jamiemirror]

Yes. In fact 4AC and early (AFAIK bluetops from AE86) 4AGE blocks have the same PN#.

[Max_toy]

ok ..that sound good ...so i think will do that using the 4AC block dong it over with4Age Parts ...

[Max_toy]

thanks...i got a a 4Age crank + pistons for free ...so next step would be putting together ...
