20V silvertop with stock 7AFE gearbox, Is that possible? Options

[onnaj]

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 point that we are trying to make about the 4a is that there will only be a negligible amount of additional work to put in a 3sgte or a 1mz-fe. You could have nearly double the useful torque and horsepower for the same cost(3sgte) or half the price(1mz)

If you do a 1mz or 3sgte swap, you can get many of the parts from the donor vehicle. A gt4 front clip would have all the parts to make it almost bolt in, and if you get a 5speed 1mz donor the story is the same.

We are just trying to help you make an informed decision. A great example to the 4age is the 3sge Beams. If your going to go to the immense expense and trouble of installing a 3sge, you may as well just get a 3sgte and have more bang for your buck. If you have a 4age laying around then by all means swap it in, but if you are going to have to spend money its recommended that spend it more wisely on a 3sgte or 1mz

Valid points. I live in a city with no place to put a donor car, so I guess I'll have to just source an engine and a shop to do the work sadly. I'm just trying to figure out what will be cheapest for me given my situation. I think I've gone as far as I can go before a swap.
