Ok everyone, i have been on the lookout for an engine for my sprinter for quite a while, please give me a hand here.
The plan has always been to get a 100kw engine and use that, because it is "better" than the bigport.
This way, i could eventually turbo it by just getting ZE pistons, as AFIK everything else is the same.
Thing is, i may be able to get a bigport from an AE82 at a price too good to refuse (i am fairly certain it was MAP, but it was dark when i looked at it).
I have heard from varuious sources that the power difference between the two engines is negligable in the real world,
And i could always do a head/inlet manifold swap (to smallport) further down the road anyway, keeping the higher lift bigport cams (although maybeye this isnt such a hot idea)
this means i will have an engine with lighter internals, and if i ever do the turb thing, which wont be 4 ages anyway, i will just get a ZE short motor, which wont cost much more than original pistons anyway.
All help and comments are welcome, im sure that having ANY kind of 4AGE is better than the 4AC.
