Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance another engine swap question

my friend has a 4a-ge silver-top 20v motor from japan that hes selling for $500 it comes complete w\ ECU and everything. He bought it for his corolla but didnt have the time or $$ to put it in. I also found a tranny at a really good price.
my question is, is it worth swaping my engine out? will it be a down grade for me? anybody know anything about the engine would be a great help thnx..

Major downgrade. Good luck spending at least 6-7k to make your car fit the corrola tranny. I think the JDM 4age's wont even do more than 140-150ps NA.

wow really?? ok I feel stupid.
my friend told me he can do it and it is possibble.
and a jdm 4age silvertop does 165ps NA.
I better do some searchin then huh..
