i was wondering if the engine mounts in the ae80 are the same as those found in the ae82 twin cam...? iv just bought an ae80 with a 1.3 sohc carby and want to dump a 4agze in it. i kno i could of started with the ae82 but this car has 60,000 klms on the clock and its in supreme condition.

Any help is much appreciated.

I was thinkin what nick was thinkin but i used 1.6L 4a-c engine mounts on my gze conversion. is there a size difference (as in strength) between the 1.3 and 1.6 mounts?

my 2a to 4a conversion I used all the same points - in fact i took my 2a brackets and bolted them to the 4a

my 2a to 4a conversion I used all the same points - in fact i took my 2a brackets and bolted them to the 4a

 

Good shit thats the answer ive been after so yes it is safe to run the 2A mounts.

ive got a ae80 with 2A auto and i want a 4A manual. is everything the same body wise ie mounts and holes for different bits like clutch cylinder etc? is the gear linkage the same in an manual as it is in the manual? what other things should i consider for this conversion? :D :hmm: :jealous:
