4a Head on 7a Block???! Options

[Dennisj1]

Hey Guys just looking for some info on a combination of head and block.

Where I'm from we have a few cars with 4afe/4agze running between 13 and 14 seconds on the dragg strip which I find verry cool.

So, I was wondering if my 7afe with automatic transmision can be swapped with the following: 4a (black/silver top) 20 valve head on my 7a block and a manual transmission.

1. Can I first swap the head only and leave the auto tranny?

2. With some modifications like changing sparkplug, intake, injectors, tranny etc (except turbo and nos) would I be able to run between 13/14 seconds on the dragg strip?

3. Would this conbination cost a lot of money?

4. Is the combination of 4a head on 7a block called frankenstine?

Just looking for some ideas, appreciate the help. THX!!!

DAMN YOU GUYS DO HAVE A LOT OF INFO!!!

Now that you mentioned weight, the car with the 4a motor i'm talking about is a starlet and is has only the driver seat and the dashboard in it. Thats why it can go 14.5 sec on the dragg strip.

What was the perpose of the yeli celi when you removed all those components in the bay? Did you use it to drive around and showing off (without power steering) or was it to dragg only?

Many guys that have the 4a motor in small cars are interested in my engine for the blok. So i was wondering if I can use the block at my advantage, but you guys made me realise that it would cost a bit of money and the weight is also a big issue.

I would want my car to drive fast, but still be able to cruse around with my gf once or twice.
