Smurf TE72 Silvertop Swap

Postby Cochese35 » Fri Apr 26, 2013 9:46 am

So I bought the car after making the mistake of selling my AE71.
It's gotten a little bit of body work but its still rough. At the moment it has a
nonfunctional 3tc with a 4speed. I'm pretty sure I could just replace the carburetor
but by the sounds of it, the engine's on its way out. I've wanted to go hi tech and switch
to fuel injection since I've always had carb'ed cars, but I made the mistake of not doing
enough research and bought a 4age silvertop. Now I am in the process of starting my first and
soon to be painful and expensive engine swap.
