hi all, i am currently in the process of building up a 4a-gte and i am trying to decide what car to put the engine into, i was thinking about a ke25 coupe or maybe a ra28 celica but im not sure if anyone has done this sort of conversion before. if anyone has any tips or links to a page that could help that would be great. do the 4a engine go straight in to these 2 cars of do you need big custom jobs?
thanx
stretch.

Bigworm's RA23 is the old celica in mention.
IMHO - the easiest, most budget, and most easily modifyable Toyota of choice for a 4A-GTE would BY FAR have to be the AE71.
Anything that works on an AE86, works on one of these. My povo $3k turbo conversion yeilded me a nifty 14.114 second qtr mile, and bodies and parts are more than plentiful and worth NOTHING.
Cant look past it.

What do u like best. id say the celica is the heavier of the 2,but there is more room 2 play , ke 25 would prob go better ,less weight but less room 2 fit everythng . it seems with cars a lot of the time, u cant have your cake an eat it

thanks for all of your input guys. i really like ra28's and the ke25 coupe's so if someone could tell me how to put the engine into 1 of them that would be great. i dont mind the sprinters but they r very commom in my area so i rather one of them.

i will probably end up chuckn it in a ae86 as there is a few in sydney that are for sale. is it just a straight swap with my 4a-gte and all i gota change is the computer to a after market one as i am running a turbo. that will be pretty much it ay?
