Re: new engines

Interesting, a corona? I found it in the toyota forum, never seen one though...
I really wish I could tell you more but I have little experience with your car as well as foreign motors. Depending on the conversions or swaps that you're doing can make the difference. For example to do an LT1 swap in my fiero, you have to purchase and adapter plate from my motor to my transmission due to each having different bolt patterns. If you using the tranny that came with the motor this could probably be avoided. You might need a different sized drive shaft or different/modify the crossmember. Again on the Fiero, there were several other things such as a smaller starter motor, redo the exhaust, etc... Also, if the car is fuel injected you might have to rewire the compatible computer through the existing wire harness which could be a HUGE pain. Hopefully someone will answer your questions, but these could be some of the bigger situations you could run into. On the other hand it could be just a simple bolt up motor swap...
