Possible replacement engine

Anyone here ever heard of a 4AE Toyota Engine? It is supposedly a 4AC with EFI. I found it online at several used engine websites listed as a replacement for the 4AC (for $450.) 78HP, 87FT-LB. Toyota engine data sheet said it was used in Corollas from 81-87. That would be KICK ASS!!! I thing I can hear Typrus panting......

If that's so, you'll get some that are EFI, and some that are carb'd. Make sure of this before you commit to one.

I tried a Google search and couldn't find any concrete evidence that it exists. But I did find a thread on Club4AG that seemed to say it didn't.

Wikipedia wrote:4A-F

A narrow-valve (22.3Ã‚Â°) DOHC 4-valve carb version, the 4A-F, was produced from 1987 through 1990. Output was 90 hp (67 kW) at 6000 rpm and 95 ftÃ‚Â·lbf (128 NÃ‚Â·m) at 3600 rpm.

That sounds like the perfect engine for our cars. Anyone know about swapping these engines into Tercels?

Look for the thread about the 5AF swap. You'll need a custom header to clear the steering. Or convert to RHD!

So what do you think about the 4AE?

From what I got out of the 3 links I posted it's just a normal 4AC. Sort of a second code or something?

Now if you were to ask what I thought about the 4AC, I'd say it's just as good as the 3AC with a little extra power.

4af is gunna be a hard swap. Many minor issues to figure out. Exhaust is a main one as well as the distributer not fitting in the engine compartment. I had to hammer back the firewall and build an engine cradle drop to put in my 5af. The hood also will not fit w/o modification. It is all because of the f series head. If I had it to do again I would go w/ a c or g head because of this. I managed to bend up some stuff so now I only get defrost vents. Still have to dig around back there to see what all is busted. A mini sledge will do that.
