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!!!

Factors like fluid levels, junk in the car, sunroof, etc. will make every car weigh differently.

Kwanza, I was just generalizing. Feel free to pick anything else apart, but the overall point was a lower power to weight ratio.


Dennis, The Yelli Celi was built by the owner/administrator of this forum - Coomer. In the FAQ's you'll find a very long thread about the engine bay renovation. In my opinion, since the engine bay was shaved and tucked that power wasn't important, and that it was a show car. I bought it a couple of years back and a combination of electrical problems and bills forced me to reluctantly sell.
