can someone please tell me what the best head to use on 4AGTE??
Michaels article talks about large 16V 4AGE head while other webpages use the 4AGZE head. It would make sense to use the 4AGZE head as it has been designed for supercharger.

With 4AGE's there's big port head and small port heads. They came on the 4AGE's and 4AGZE's - There's no difference in them other than the port sizes.
(Yes, there's minor differences between the FWD & RWD heads, but not enough to worry about.  )

To mount the 4agte in TA22 can you use a RWD 4age inlet manifold?I have heard these like hens teeth to get? Is it simpler to fabricate a inlet manifold? Any good sites on web about design of inlet manifold???

Yes, the RWD inlet manifold will bolt-on okay, but of course only to the big port head. It's a bit tight up against the head without the TVIS plate, but it can be done.
If you wre to make one from scratch, I'd cut the plenum off a FWD one and weld on a bigger plenum, with the TB where you want it to go.
And yes, the combustion chambers are exactly the same; the difference in compression is done with different piston top heights.
