If you want to do this I have 2 4M's complete, but I don't understand why you would want to do this. These engines aren't very powerful, they aren't very fuel efficient, and they are Very, Very hard to get parts.

Umm....the 7M came in the late 80s and early 90s cars from the factory. I think you need to do some research on what year came with which motor. Search engines work wonders.

I think he meant the 4M Engine...

4M
The engine was bored out to 80 mm (3.15 in) to create the 2.6 L (2563 cc) 2-valve SOHC 4M. Produced from 1972 through 1980, output was 108-122 hp (81-91 kW) at 5600 RPM and 134-141 ft.lbf (181-191 Nm) at 3600 RPM.

The fuel injected 4M-E was produced from 1978 through 1980. It was also a 2-valve SOHC engine. Output was 110 hp (82 kW) at 4800 RPM and 136 ft.lbf (184 Nm) at 2400 RPM.

Applications:
1979-1981 Toyota Celica Supra MKI
Toyota Crown MS-60
Toyota Corona MKII MX13 and MX29
