Tercel swap. Help please
ok need a little help. My friend and I are working on a 93 Toyota Tercel. We want to swap the engine. Heres the Deal we have a 4AGE out of his totaled MR2 . But i have been told its a bitch to rewire that and we are on a budget. So my idea was either a 22RE or 22RET. Any Ideas? Coments?
Thanks,
NAte

plus a 4EFT-E is a great swap, but you already said you're on a budget and i think perhaps you guys are pretty mechanically/technically NOT inclined enough to be able to perform that particular swap. sorry, just calling it how i see it.

Theres a company out in Florida where my friend got his 4EFTE. It was done in his Paseo and it didn't set him back that much. I'll try and get the name later. He ran low 14's with bone stock everything.
