Build story
(nothing like having the website crash and having to type this up again lol)\r
After mistaking the 7A-FE for a 4A-FE from a geo prism, I decided I wanted to do something adventurous with this turdcel that I traded my 1986 HO swapped town car for. I had seen several 4A-GE swapped 2nd generation 4wd tercel wagons (which use the same drive train as the 1st generation 1980-1982 tercels) but I hadn't seen a 7A-GE swapped wagon, let alone a 4A-GE or 7A-GE swapped first generation tercel. Sooooo after many hours of research, I had cobbled together a very meh 7A-GE. I ran it for about a year before developing several oil leaks that I couldn't find, and low oil pressure on very hot days. I decided I wanted to do a proper build, so I ripped the engine out and got with a well known individual in the 4A-GE world to give me advice. After ~6 months and $2500 usd later, I had a nicely built, proper 7A-GE! I haven't been able to dyno test it due to it still being in the break in period, but estimated HP is ~150-160 hp! All crammed in a car that weighs ~1800lbs! Better than the stock 62hp haha!
