Hello,
I'm able to buy a 4AGE 20V Silvertop for a nice price. I'm wondering though if it's possible to keep my own 7afe gearbox with it? Or wouldn't the gearbox last for long? Thanks! -------------------- |

the gains are not worth the cost IMO.

Tuning it isnt worthwhile either, the heads just dont flow well on our USDM engines. You could turbo it. But probably your best option would be a 1mz-fe or 3s-gte swap. All the same work is required with the addition of needing an E or S series transmission and the motor/transmission mounts(plus maybe some tidbits like the shifter cables and radiator). For about the same cost and work the 3SGTE would give you nearly double the torque and horsepower. For maybe 1/2 the cost and the same amount of work the 1MZ-FE V6 would give you at least double the torque and over 200HP. Parts will also be extremely easy to find for this motor. |

I must find out if the 1MZ-FE V6 is easy to find in Holland. I doubt that  Maybe i should put some 4agze pistons in it, customizing my intake (doing that right now, making my own cold air box), and change the headers/exhaust. -------------------- |
