Engine Swapout / Upgrade advice requested! 18R-G vs 18R-C	Wed, 28 April 2004 04:11

Hey all, After some friendly advice... I have the oportunity to purchase a possibly not so perfect Toyota 18R-G engine block & head, as well as manifolds, twin sidedraft solex carburettors, and a set of extractors, to switch into my 81 Celica. For those of you not familiar with Toyota's and their engines, this is the 2 litre twin cam engine produced in the late 70's, which is rated at around 150bhp. It would be replacing my standard 18R-C engine & head, which is the single overhead cam engine with single carb, rated at 96bhp (of course, this is factory suggested). This engine can be difficult to source, and I have gotten prices from Half Cut importers at over $1000, and upon calling a decent Melbourne Toyota supplier, I was priced $880 for the block and head, without them knowing if it had manifolds. The current price has been suggested to be around $300, however, im looking for imput as to whether or not this seems like a decent deal, given the head may need some work for it to be of use.
