my 94' corolla has about 280,000 miles on it and i currently bought a block of the same engine (4age) manual from a junkyard and am wanting to build it with a lot more power, what can i do to increase the power before i put the engine in?

Is your question about what you can do to the new block to increase the power of the rebuild? Or is it about what you can do to the rest of the engine?

If you are in the good old USA your car came with a 4AFE or 7AFE. If you bought a 4AGE block, you should probably also get the head for that block. That would definetly boost your output. But you'll also need to countless other things to complete the swap.

I want to do anything and everything to the engine and the same to the components of the engine to give it as much power as possible. Basically the engine in it's entirety.

You might do a web search for sites like the one below. There is a lot of info out there on the 4age engine.
