The Toyota 4A engine variations are a popular swap into Datsun 1200s. These are 1600cc engines, so are a significant upgrade in terms of cubic inches alone. However, it is the DOHC 4AGE that shines with impressive power. Also notable is the 4AGEZ supercharged engine from the Toyota MR2.


NOTE to newbys: Beware of mentioning rotary-powered or Toyota 4AGE-powered 1200s. Some club members may get offended! But really, these are also excellent engines that fit in fairly well. Just don't tell anybody ;-)
