While contemplating various 5 speed conversions, engine mods etc etc I 
had fall into my lap today a complete 87  Toyota Corolla GTS, that's  
the 1600cc twin cam and 5 speed RWD car . I did find one web site 
http://www.team.net/www/mg/tech/midget/engswapa.html   that describes 
the transplant of a 4T motor, which is very similar but not of a 4A swap 
.. Anyone with any first hand experience and or URLs of this swap . ?  
Oh and for the purists out there, if a 5 speed Japanese transmission is 
an acceptable improvement how can the whole doggoned drive line not be 
?  In any case an easy 120 bhp and 7500 RPM all day , along with 200k 
mile reliability appeals to me .
Regards
John
