Where can I find the engine identification on the block? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I'm new to Toyotas, just bought a '93 corolla and would like to check the engine against the VIN which states the engine as a 7A-FE. Upon gross visual inspection it looks similar, but not exactly the same as the other examples of the 7A-FE I have seen. It looks more like the 4A-FE.

Thanks.

Welcome to Toyota Nation! The engine number is etched vertically into the block. It's located to the right of the exhaust manifold.

Here's some photos of it's location:

As you can see, mine says 5A as it has a 5A-FE engine. It will says 4A for the 4A-FE or 7A for the 7A-FE. You will have to get down low to see the numbers on the block and may have to give it a bit of a wipe to get rid of any dirt etc.

Hah, thank you very much! I've spent hours looking online and on the block, so much for my good vision.

This is a very well organized forum, I'm glad it exists. I'll be doing some projects on this car, and I have already found information on lots of the things I want to do. I would very much like to install one of those Silvertop engines in my car and whatnot.
