cheap and easy mods: none
i mean you could always do extractors..but its pointless...may as well save for a later engine to go in there. even a 4age 16v would go lots better

would a 4age fit in the liteace isnt the 4age twincam, cos then the engine would be wider and might not fit in the engine bay, and how many litres is the 4age

Certainly not as big as a 351. But should fit with some massaging. Consider fuel system and cooling mods.

hey how much would a 4age second hand motor cost, cos i am seriously thinking of hottin up the 4KC cos im limited on money and need it on the road by june next year and i dont have the time nor money to stuff around with a new motor, and i dont have access to a car lift to take a motor out and put another motor in
plus i have limited knowledge of changin the motors in a van anyway in the meantime im gonna work on the minor rust in the body

we put a 6 cyl holden red motor in ours with the holden 4 speed box. due to the diff gears it grips in and feels like with a bit more power it could wheel stand
