Everything from 4cyl to V8s has been done on the AE86 before. I suggest if you're thinking of upgrading your motor to such a bigger motor that FIRST you upgrade your suspension in order to take that much power and weight, and then think about motor swaps.

honestly all of that will be done ONCE motor is in and running....any info on the swap?? wher ei can look, who i can ask?? thanks again

The 7M is a big heavy lump, but can produce good numbers.

Expensive exercise, clutch, gearbox, diff, driveshaft, brakes, suspension,

ontop of all the engine costs.
