Engine swap - Plentiful and compatible

[scoob8000]

Have a 91' Corolla with the 16v 4AFE motor developing a mechanical knock.

What year/models should we be looking at for engines that are going to be a bolt in. (Don't even want to muck with wiring harnesses).

So far, all I have come up with is 90-92 Corolla and Prizms.

Well 88-92 Corollas are the same... 4AFE engine should be easy to find, it was used a lot. Even from 90-93 ST Celicas should work fine. And yeah the Prizms had them as well. I can't think of what else does.

88-89 corollas had carbed 4AFs....

there is also one prism gsi I think? that had a 4age, so you don't want that one either.

for just a complete plug in and go an 90-92 corolla sedan or SR5 would be your only choice I think.

I think you can go up to 95 Corollas... or whenever the switched to the OBD systems.

Ah well my bad. Im used to my 89 corolla with the 4AGE engine fuel injected. Are you positive all corollas 88-89 are Carbed?

And yeah they changed over to OBDII system in 96 on most cars.

Except for the ALLTRAC wagons in 89 that came with the 4AFE and of course the GTS, yes they're all Carbed pretty much.

well there is some 89.5 that were equipped with 4A-FE, but thats only some of them
