Hey guys, I have a 73 Corolla Hard Top Coupe which we have had in the paddock for a while just for fun. After siezing the engine the other week (didn't bother with any oil) I figured it might be worth while to get the beast back on the road with a newer, more powerful engine. Now, I don't want anything stupid but I would like a bit of power. The car will be a casual driver, once or twice a week will be all she will be driven. Any thoughts on what engine to use? I have thought 4AGE or 4AGZE and have heard this would be fairly straight forward. Was this ever in a front engine rear wheel drive car? It was in old MR2s but they are obviously mid engine. 3T was also suggested or 3S of sorts. Any ideas or suggestions? I want to keep engine bay modification to a minimum, new mounts at very most. Wiring shouldn't be too much of an issue ( I am an electrical engineer and should be able to figure it out eventually). Any thoughts would be great. Any links to people who have done something like this would also be great. I've found a few, but none that explain how difficult each was to complete. Thanks, Nathan.
