97 Dx Engine Swap




Guest Whirlwind06

Greetings, I have some question that I hope that can get answered.

I have a 1997 DX with a 1.8L engine with a distributor ignition system. I have found a 1.8L engine with a coil pack ignition. Can I swap these engines. In other words will the coil pack engine fit onto the trans, motors mounts etc.

Thanks

they're two entirely different engines. one is a 7afe and the other is a 1zzfe....it won't be a straight forward swap and not really worth it.

If the 1.8L engine came out of a 7th generation (1993-1997) Corolla, then no problem,

 

if it did not, then it will not fit without extensive modifications of mounts and connections.

According to the specs it is a 7AFE coil pack motor. I have a 7AFE distributor motor.

get me the vin off the block, front of block near the where the trans bolts on.
