ive said this before many tiems, i dont really like the domestic/import swapping, i think they should stick to what they have... but since this isnt my car im not going to say not to do it. there are alot of options/parts/etc out there for american motors. something happens to it, just go to a local auto shop and they will more than likely have what you need. if your motor was a 7mge i would not suggest a rebuild, because a jdm 7mge runs for about 400-700 on ebay, a rebuild would prolly cost more than that. and if you are gonna buy a motor over ebay, just go all out and buy a turboed motor, 7mgte or 1jzgte. personally this would be my choice, as i have already bought my jdm 7mgte. but with the swap comes the need to buy the harness, ecu, bell houseing for the tranny, ic and piping... so what you do is entirely up to you and what you want.

My vote: 1GZFE ;)

Any engine will last a long time depends on how well you take care of it...

way to bring up a dead thread

lol....................that was so funny...

I noticed I hadn't seen this thread recently....lmao:roflwtf:

to the toyota with high milage
sucks i dont have any proof

but my ex-girlfriends dad
has a i think 70's corolla
(dont remember right, but i know it was a toyota)
the last time i saw it had 430k on it
and that was 3 years ago
and it was still running good

Yay dead thread! if you want a long life motor, get a vw diesel and slap it in there. Will also make your mileage go way up too lol.

diesel cars suck balls

anything with diesel on it

turbo diesel
diesel engine
vw diesel
vin diesel

lol ^ x2 diesel is only good for hauling shit... or whatever else you wanna haul... not a supie

ill rather have a packed mule to haul crap around
rather than a jackass to drive
