4ag Vs 2tg info?

Hello all, I'm unsure how to proceed with a 2tg project car. Several people in the know have told me that the 2tg is too old, difficult to source parts for, and that a 4ag would be the better option.
Everyone automatically defaults to the 4ag for a small toyota is the 2t really that bad? I'd like to go with the old-school engine but I'm also realistic, how expensive is it to build a 160-70hp 2tg?? the 4ag is so much more popular and I feel I may regret choosing a 2tg as a starting point.
The project is a 2-door 3a-u ae70. And I don't care if it's got carbs or efi - I just want big revs and power.

personally the easier option would be the 4AG.
you already have the 3a in there, remove, and insert 4AG. nothing else required.
with a 2TG you have to meddle with engine mounts ect - keep it simple dude.
the 2TG is getting a little long in the tooth, but, nonetheless still a very good engine.

would it even be legal to chuck a 2T-G into that car when the motor is older than the original? or am i a poor misguided fool?
personally i would 4ag, can use all the facotry mounts easily, motor is newer (and cheaper to rebuild)... but i still love the old 8 valve racer!!!

Says Rex (moron poida left himself logged in):
If you're looking for Revs and Power, id be looking at the 4AG. also because the car already has an XA-X series engine it should be very straight forward swap.
IMHO the 4AG is a better engine, and if your looking for about 160-170 horsies the 2T-G will take plenty of 'building' whereas the 20v 4A-GE, with a pair of carbs (simple, cheap) and extractors will make the power with no hastle, be reliable and give you more than enough revs to keep a grin on your face. while being a physically smaller/lighter package
