He is gonna need custom mounts but why bother. Does he just have one laying around? He really needs more torque to move the Camry. That is why you throw a 3sge in there. They are cheap, bolt right up, can even use his stock tranny, and have more hp and waaaay more torque than a 4age.
That is a great deal. He could try and put it in but I would probably just put it on ebay, make like an extra 500 selling it, and then buy a 3sge setup.

There comes a point when just because you can do it doesn't mean it will work right or you should. A 4age would be different but you know it would just be dumb to do. Sure it has 165 hp but who gives a crap. You have to get the car up to the RPM's to get that horsepower working. That motor has no torque what so ever and for a heavy car like a camry you need some torque to move it. Unless you plan on just keeping the car above 5000 RPM there is no point in it. But a 4age project is comming from a man who said he had a 3sge in his car but the only picture he had of his car was of a body kit. Then he said he wanted to see what he could do with an F head and just not use a G head so I am calling BS on this whole thing. Until I see pics of any of your motors in the car that is what I am calling.
