What exactly is your engine and where is it sourced from?
I wanted a twin cam but could only think of taking a 1600 twin cam from a FWD carolla (4Age)/(4Ageu) and making it RWD, but it costs about $3000 and Im a poor uni student.
Cheers

| lol i got a 4afe dohc....lyin around all computer an everything.......now they aint no power machine but dood my mums car (4afe) has done 300 000 with out missin a beat, if anyone has done that with a gemi engine i give them a clap......and as far as i can tell...been told, they bolt straight up to sprinter 5speeds, so surely it wouldnt be very hard to put it in......its smaller in size than an fj20, but main point is......y bother when u could get a standard g200 to be just as quick |
