Corollas are cars, not trucks. '88 and newer are FWD, and SR5 is standard
engine, not the high out put version like used in the MR2.
You want a 4AGE engine from an 84-87 Corolla GTS. Those years are RWD. TRD
believes that is one of the best engines ever built. Cast iron block, and not
too light like later engines that were built too close to limits. They got 250
hp from 4AGEs in the Toyota Atlanic cars, normally aspirated! 170hp in stock
form with 5-valve heads, but only in other countries, that wasn't sold here.
Gives an idea of the potential though. TRD has writeups on various stages of
tune.
I always wanted to put that drivetrain in an 80-81 Toyota Starlet. That was a
very small RWD 2-dr. hatchback that was made for efficiency. An outfit if Fl.
did a number of those conversions. I just never bit the bullit!

isn't the "Toyota Corolla 1988 SR5" a car? if it's the one i'm thinking of,
it's a favorite of the "drifter" set as it is light and has rear wheel drive.
or am i all wet and it is a truck?
