what engine will fit in an 86 sr5? other than the 4ac. and approx. how much cost?

i think my engine is about to die...

4A-GE

besides that.... you'd have to do major work on it to convert it to do that right? dunno i'm strapped for cash and i want to save my sr5..

4Aaron GE · 11-18-2002, 08:27 PM

uhh... 3A-C, but I doubt you'd want one of those. But really, the 4A-GE should probably be the least you should consider.

ugh, oh well. i thought that would be the other engine but i just wanted to make sure...damn.

Well, if you really don't want to convert to EFI, just grab a 4A-GE, and get a set of carbs.

4age........4ag/webber carbs.......4af.....4afe.....7afe.....4agze......
4age silvertop 4age black top.......4ac ......4a........etc etc....

depens on how much you want to pay$$$$

whats cheapest and most readily available? what kind of work will go into it?

4Aaron GE · 11-19-2002, 09:13 PM

Easiest and cheapest would probably be an early, carbed 4A-F but the power gains wouldn't be worth it for the amount of work you'd be doing. You should at the very least be looking at the 4A-G with a set of sidedraght carbs (weber, solex, mikuni etc)

sounds good. thanks for the input. but about how much will that run me?

well, out of all of the expensive headache ones, it would still be the easiest.
