If you do import an AE86 an it's a GTS it will come equiped with the 4AGE 16v twin cam motor.Strong motor from the factory and it loves to rev high. There is also the GTV which alot of poeple forget about which came with the 20v motor. Both come with lsd stock and a pretty strong tranny.
You say it would be good a track but not drag, i beg to differ. Being that the HAchi is light to begin with,it is a good car for drag.I'm not tlaking about 9 sec. cars her but something that is still respectable.
I have seen many people throw on turbochargers an run very respectable 13's in there Hachi's.
I'm even working on a project car right now with a buddy to swap in the 4AGZE motor in a hachi we got. If you don't know what the motor is, it is a supercharged version of the gts motor that can be found in 1st generation MR2's.

The 4AGZE is a good transplant to work with, but changing to a different engine in a AE86 isn't a bad idea either; especially when you consider the choices you have:
3TC Engine
Although an older engine, consider the fact that almost every drag AE86 from Rafael Roldan (Felo Racing) to Brendan Alvarez (PSI Racing) runs a turbocharged 3TC at 8 secs or lower.
About a year and a half ago, PSI built a street TE72 Corolla running 11's with a 3TC engine, for street. Put that engine in a more lighter and aerodynamic AE86 body, and I'm running 10's...
I ran a turbocharged 3TC with a Mitsu TD06-20G in my 82 TE72 wagon before I broke my T50 tranny. Now I'm back to the drawing board to build a better drivetrain.
If you see a 3TC as too old of an engine for your investment, then you also have:
3S-GTE Engine
Hook this up with a W57 or W58 tranny, and everyone behind you is nothing but
past tense. Plus with aftermarket support from places like HKS and Greddy (Trust), you won't be reinventing the wheel...
There's been a few guys who even dropped a 2JZ-GTE in their AE86.
Anything can be done, it just depends on what you want to do and what you can budget for....
