Don't read too much into it, you have to be able to prove that you've "Made every attempt to repair the vehicle" or some such before you can actually get it.
Yeah, I'm not holding my breath :P

The hardest part will still be the timing belt. The 7A deck is 14.5mm further from the crank than the 3 ...

Petros, a 7AGE would be awesome, however, it'll still require all the same parts as a 4AGE conversion.

That's part of the reason that when I rebuild my 4AC, I'd like to use a 4AGE or 7AFE bottom end (using pistons with the 4AC head in mind though), so that I'll basically have a 4AGE / 7AGE bottom ...

Yeah, CA always makes things more complicated :P

I think a 7AC could pass. Unless you look at the block serial number it'll look like a stock 4AC.

A carbureted 4AF is also an option, but I'm not 100% sure if that was available in the USA or not. But being a FWD layout engine, it could require a ...

That's interesting about the MR2 intake manifold; I'll have to dig a little deeper around here into some of the 4AGE swap threads.

The car in question for me is actually a Corolla SR5, not a Tercel, so a 4AGE swap should be quite easy, assuming I can gather all the required Corolla GTS parts ...

Thanks for the reply Petros :)

I wasn't aware that the 3AC and 4AC heads were different, so I usually refer to them as 3AC / 4AC heads; my mistake.

As far as why a "7AC", I guess I know a lot of guys on here do the 3AC to 4AC swap, so I figured why not go 7AC? More displacement seemed like the ...

I think it would be a wasted effort to put 8 tiny intake valves from the 4ac/4ac on a 7a short block, not enough breathing.
A few people have mentioned this, and it does make sense. However, I haven't heard of anyone running a 7AC (granted, there aren't many) who had any problems running a stock ...

7AC
WarWagon, if you go this route, please document your build and what issues you run into.

I'm very interested in building a 7AC myself, and there is a serious lack of info on it. When I have time this week I can post some links I've compiled on the subject; there aren't many.

In some ways I'm ...

Thanks for the info tercel4wdrules! :)

I'll have to consider Delta's 260 "mild street" regrind; sounds like a great deal! :D

Yeah, I'm thinking with a clean EGR (no idea what state mine is in now; it barely passes smog) and a new / cleaned CAT (once again, no idea how effective it is; I haven't ...

Good to know Petros; that'll save me some money! :)

I haven't contacted Delta Cams yet, but do they do a numbering system for their cams? I know Schneider has a number system (260 - 300), and tercel4wdrules mentioned the 260 regrdind specifically. Which Delta Cam(s) are you familiar with Petros ...

Man, I am loving this forum; these replies are fantastic! :D

Alright, let's see if I can reply with some helpful info :P

Petros,

Regarding the 7AC, I think it is worth it, and probably not as much of a gamble as you'd think. A few people have done a 7AC before. No custom fabrication, just 1 water ...

I was going to recommend you post on the 4ac-powered forum but just checked and you already did. very good. while looking up that site, i also came across this old thread on the 4ag forum. probably another one you've already seen but here it is just in case.

Hey everyone,

I'm not 100% sure where to post this, so I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong place. Mods, please feel free to move this post if necessary.

I usually post my questions on Club4AG, and for the most part I get good responses, but if I mention "4AC" anywhere in my post I ...
