looking to do a motor swap on my newly aquired '88 corolla 4dr automatic...
It has (i believe) an 4A-F engine (carbureted) that is blown...
I figured i should be able to find a short block or even a complete rebuilt
motor, for a reasonable price, that i can just "drop in". without having to do any
mods to the existing vehicle.
For example, I have found a toyota corolla 5A-FE motor, available for $350.
I don't know, yet, if it was attached to an auto, or manual transmission,
I would like to know if it will bolt up directly to my automatic
transmission, and if the motor mounts are likewise the same? or ??
or am I stuck with having to do a direct (4A-F) motor for motor only swap?
If you know what i mean..
makes sense? no? yes?
Any thoughts, suggestions, or info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
