it souldnt be too hard, the engine mounts on the 13b are very simple. im still not impressed with the 4ag, they just wont make any power

no power from a 4ag wrong but its way more expensive then tha rot.

anyway the sr5 and gts corolla is rwd til 88 so there it is just get the welder and then go to work!

good luck its a less popular swap than the rot in the 79-82 but itll work!

my brother built a 13b sr corolla coupe dont no much about it but he did have to build a exhust tunnel and i think he had to mod the g'box tunnel and had high flow turbo and micro tech ecu i think it pulled a 12 at the drags on a crappy track i think it was pritty nuts on skinny tyres :twisted:
