4AGE & 4AC thermostat housing compatibility

[hopeful]

i broke the one in my ae86 while installing a new thermostat (it wasnt sitting right and it created a gap and I tightened the bolt and snap) i think its all one peice, it bolts onto the block and i was wondering if anyone has it for a bluetop in TO, and if not will one from a 4ac '88 fit? thanks.

If you've got a FWD 4A-C one, it fits great. It also has the opening so that you can install the temp switch for an electric fan. If you go that route, you've got to get the gasket for the 4A-C as well.

but wouldn't 88 be 4A-F? they don't work.

were talking about the whole thing here right?

16323 in this pic. i havent taken apart the bluetop one so i dont know how big it is or if it even looks anything like this one.

its just that tomorrows really cold and i dont want to take apart this FWD corolla to the point of this and find it doesn't fit, can you tell me for sure? ... thanks a million man.

Oh, my mistake. Isn't that the pump housing though?

i guess so, it sucks for something like that to break eh?

the temporary JB weld im hoping will hold it for the drive home tomorrow.

I don't know about FWD 4AC, but FWD 4afe/7afe ain't going to fit (bizzare angle)

AE92 with 4age bigports will work, their inlet/T-stat housing has the fan switch and so you can upgrade to electric fan (this is what i'm using to run my e-fan). BUT AE92 with smallport 4age, not going to work, their housing will interfere with our RWD alternator

dang its too cold for me to take out the one from the 88 to find out it doesn't fit, i guess I'll just have to wait. Anybody have the correct complete water pump housing with inlets /outlets and all that jazz? somebodies gotta have one...
