Hi, someone is trying to sell me one for $200, and he said it has about 40,000 miles on it and he said its from Japan,

Would this be easy to put in my 94 ST?

is this a good deal?

Didn't say if it's my thing or not. smile.gif just saying from past experience having owned a 7A-FE and 4A-GE, the 7A-FE feels more usable. True, bit weak up top, but plenty more lowend power.

I have to beg to differ... and I've owned them all. 16V TVIS makes as much torque as the 7AFE... 16V smallport is much more powerful and the torque differences is only between idle and 3500 rpms (which the engine is at for what... one gear?)... it's greater power makes up more than enough for the somewhat flat low-end... and the 20V 4ages make up for any torque short comings with excellent throttle reponse via ITBs...

That's not saying I don't like torque... hell... I drive on a weekly basis our shop's modded F250 with over 600 ftlbs of torque off idle... What I don't like... is seemingly biased opinions...
