4age 16v

Sergio, I didnt mean to put you off or anything, just want to spare you some dissapointment if the engine you build eventually doesnt turn out like you had planned.

I've been around long enough to see lots of engine builds.. and most dont get past the 180 hp mark (and those are already very nicely built engines). The formula atlantic engines are more than just the sum of their parts. There is lots of specialistic machining from experienced race engineering shops behind them, and they are not very suitable for use in something as heavy as an ae86 due to their peaky behaviour and lack of bottom end torque. Plus these engines need rebuilds every couple of 1000 km's.. are you sure that's what you want?

Try looking up threads about ron hellenbrand's engines, he's a guy that has lots of experience building strong 4age's, might give you some good ideas. Also pazza's old 4age buildup thread was an interesting read, with some input from the engine builder himself (angelworks).
