New drifter

[Toker]

ey, whats up 86'rs. i am looking to get a little hachi drift project, but not too sure on what im lookin at. i dont have one yet, and i want to make sure i get what i want. which i still gotta figure out. (nice!) i have a 1985 sr5 in my area that im lookin at getting. im more concerned about the engine. what does a sr5 have?? and ldeally id like a 4agze, correct? any help would be greatly appreciated guys.
thanks.

it has a 4ac carb'd motor in it. "ideally" is all up to you, build what you want

[Corolla85GTS]

^^ what piso said

4A-C isnt a performance engine by any means, there are guys that try to turbo them on club4ac.com, but your best and easiest alternative is the 4A-GE for a quick bump in power, theres no point in getting a 4A-GZE if you dont plan on running boost, if you do then yes it is the best engine for that as far as "A" series is concerned.

Another question is the SR5 youre looking at a automatic or a stick?

[Toker]

its a stick. and i dunno if i gonna have the funds for a turbo, so thanks for the heads up. i think my buddy wants it al-naturale. Big ITB's. hmm.

[4agetercel]

if thats the route you want then find a 4A-GE out of a 90,91 corolla GTS, this is the smallpot, hicompression version of the 4ag, just put all the RWD componenets on it, also it has some beefy rods, from what i remember they have the same rods as a GZE, so if you ever want to run boost you can just trow in some GZE pistons and youre good to rock

out of which car would i use the RWD parts from?? im guessin i need to change tranny, driveshaft, and axle. but from what year car? or would it be easier to just find a 4a-ge and put it in a older model car? again what year. much appreciated guys.

first off is the sr5 shell really clean? (i.e. very littte rust, no accident record, etc.)

Off an AE86 GTS, well if you want to keep your car stick theres no point in changing the transmission because the HI-COMP smallport bolts right up to it, just a bit of intake manifold modding is needed or a TVIS spacer to get rid of the TVIS on a RWD intake manifold
