My poor old AE82 Corolla hatch died on Friday. Blown head gasket between the 3rd and 4th cylinders. This is the second blown head and the 4A-C has been using heaps of oil lately, so I am going to replace the engine.
I don't want to spend a lot of money on it (so no fuel injection), but I would like to get some more power than the breathless 4AC can offer.
Any ideas?
I would like to get a 4A-FC, or another 4AC if I can't get the twin-cammer.
Any suggestions for the best place to get the swap done in Canberra? I have been quoted $1,950 for a 4AC fitted with gaskets, oils etc.. including a 3 year warranty. Any idea how much an FC would cost, or what their availability is like?
ACT: HELP! my poor AE82
