im leaning more towards a 6, but i dont discriminate lol

FunctionSpec · 09-11-2009, 01:45 AM

None of the above, lol jk. The one I would go with would be 4AGE only because it's an engine that came in the later Corollas. Like to keep it within the same "family".

But if I had a classic like that, I would stick with the original 2TC motor and work on restoring the rest of the car as clean as possible. Adding fun stuff like wheels, suspension, fender flares, and mild engine modifications, but nothing too wild that would pull it away from the essence of the car.

thanx for the input, i dont wanna spend more than 5k on the car, i paint cars 4 a living so most of the labor is literally on the motor, ive done 2 motorswaps so i might even do the swap myself, but restoring it is 2 much time, money and effort for me right now, but thats something i would love 2 do

I've seen people swap a 13B in those, as well as SR20's.

puetato89 · 09-11-2009, 02:51 AM

yup!!! my uncle wants me 2 put either a 2a or 13b, but toyota is better than rotory

Like FunctionSpec, I would select none of the above. It looks so clean now why change a thing?
Being that you have a very nice nostalgic in excellent shape, I would keep the original motor. I've never seen an engine bay so clean.
I can't see the motor, but I assume it's a 2TC in there. You could upgrade to a 3TC or 2TG or 2TG/3TC hybrid without any modifications.
I believe in semi-preservation. Sell those rims and get some older SSRs or Watanabes.
...But if you really want to do a swap (keeping it 4 cylinder) 4AG or 3SG.
If you really really really want to go 6 cylinder - 1JZ or 2JZ definitely, no 7M.
If your budget is only $5,000, then 2T,3T is the best option. Florida has tons of parts and shops for that motor.
But keep it in the Toyota family!

I would love to have that car!

i got lucky with it honestly, it was given 2 me, only bad thing is that i have no motor right now, and needs 2 be painted and prepped realy bad and i dont have time right now 2 do it...

The car in the pic is not his. He posted that pic because I couldn't see the other one he posted last night. That is just the body style of his car. Ok since you said you wanted a 6 cyl. would you rather have that over turbo?

Mouse · 09-11-2009, 01:58 PM

13B or 20B and call it a day

lilredrocket · 09-11-2009, 02:29 PM

He is wanting to stay true to Toyota so let's stop offering different options that are not Toyota.

Slick · 09-11-2009, 02:57 PM

I vote a 572 monster block

YAR1S · 09-11-2009, 10:19 PM

Awww I saw something similar to this today but it was an old 70's hatchback celica.

lilredrocket · 09-11-2009, 10:22 PM

Anyone notice the 4 lug fronts and the 5 lug rears? I've never seen that before.

puetato89 · 09-12-2009, 01:05 AM

i think its just the angle of the picture

lilredrocket · 09-12-2009, 03:56 AM

No the spacing is different between the lugs. I have seen people do a full conversion but not half way like that. (good eye)
