yes the fx-16 is fwd, its a AE82 chassis. the engine is a 4A-GE "bluetop". honestly, i dont think a swap would be worthwhile. you may gain some low end torque, but youll lose some overall power and id be extremely surprised if your car didnt get slower.

but it will bolt in as everyones said. itll use the same mounting points. you would need to modify the 7A-FE harness (the 1.8L is a 7A-FE as previously mentioned).

you could put the 4A-GE head on the 7A-FE bottom end, but its somewhat unreliable depending on what you want from the car. youll gain horsepower and torque, but the bottom end is weaker. the 4A-GE head is designed to deliver high-end power, the 7A-FE bottom end wont stand up to high rpm for long. it takes alot of money to build a 7A-GE to be reliable.

if your looking for a good swap, look in to the 4age "redtop or high comp", 4age 20V's, or the 4agzes.
