 Engine BBQ'ed

well, thats it for the 4K-C in my liteace, CHAR-GRILLED!, i was revving it up in the driveway when the carby crapped itself and spat fuel out of the throat and where do you think it landed to start a fire? The god damn distributor. Lucky i had the seat open, but not lucky that i didnt have the air filter hose attached to the carby which would have stopped fuel spitting everywhere.
I jumped out in time and switched off the ignition and put it out with the garden hose! i really have to invest in a fire extinguisher, i had pics on the computer, but my sis deleted them by mistake!
Any ideas on what engine i should stick in? 4 cylinder ONLY
Thanks
Ben

a quick fire should not of stuffed your motor rewire, new hoses and away you go  unless it was sad to begin with and you want to go faster
it takes a lot of heat from an external fire to bugger the inside of a motor, by far the cheapest and quickest option

nah, im just gonna stick in a 5KC and keep it simple, and by the way, the old 4KC was sad, very very sad, it would start after i put in new leads and fixed the carby temporarily, but it just died after a few minutes, i didn't bother with looking into it

Your measuring tape will decide which engines are a reasonable option. You will find most DOHC engines will be too tall to fit under the seats.
