well after getting hit and run my idea for the beams motor went down the drain, i figred while its in the shop i might as wel get it swapped w/ the 4age 20 valve silvertop,anyways my question is how much do these swaps tend to run? and where can i find a 4age silvertop engine?oh yeah and time is a problem too the swap cant any longer than a couple of weeks.I basically just want to know whatt i would need?(clip or engine better?dont see the point in the clip since its a celica not a corolla) for the swap and what all neeeds to be done.i loooked around but couldnt seem to find anything:( anyways thanks in advance

Yeah it's true, I've done quite a few silvertop swaps, just finished one yesterday and took it for a ride. It's an auto and I was comparing it against my '94 Celica ST auto. There's definetly a lack of torque at the bottom end of the range, but once you're past 3000 rpm it's no comparison. When you first step on the gas from a total stop, 0-20 is like, hmmm, Where's The Torque??? But then you get past 20mph and it just screams up past 60 and you'll like, wooooaaaaahhhh.....

I would REALLY like to do the silvertop head on my 1.8L block, but it looks like a SEROUS pain in the ass. |
