back onto the AE86. For those that have or had owned one, did you guys do any research on engine swaps? What are some engines around the past 5-10 years that can be directly swapped into the AE86, with the exception of the 4A-GE and its variants?
i'm don't got much knowledge on the tech. aspects of the car, but is it possible to fit in a 1ZZ-FE (recent Corolla engine) engine into an AE86?
I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
Or a 1UZ V8

^^ isn't the V8 heavier by quite a bit than the stock, which kinda defeats the purpose of the AE86's lightness.
i remember reading about some dude swapping an engine from a Lexus LS, is that the same one. (Youtube link)
My vote would go to the Datsun 510 or a Z-car. I'd mention the AE86's but IMHO the demand has totally outpriced what you really get for the money. Maybe an MR/2?
An it harm none, do as ye will
Approximately 79% of statistics are made up.
The 4age is about 120kg all dressed and the block cast iron, the 1UZ is a alloy block and weighs about 185kg fully dressed. A guy on the forums I got it from has driven it and rekons its a torque monster and still handles very well.

When I went for a ride in it, fair enough it planted you hard back in the seat in every gear well and truely.
But perhaps what was more impressive was that he drove up to a typical street corner in 5th gear, kept it in 5th and pulled away nicely from about 700rpm. Then when we got to 1500rpm that familiar push-in-the-seat feeling was back.
It still hadn't had a decent tune at that point, and still only the stock inlet manifold. He build his own extractors for it though, and had a Motec M800 on it, otherwise it was totally stock.
