7m-ge in an 84' ae 86

[Newzero01]

my engine was a 4a-c. i found a 3e-e, 3s-fe, 2vz-fe, a 5m-ge and a 7m-ge at a junk yard here in town the 3s and 2vz is fwd if i remember right i was looking at the 7m not so much the 5m. does anyone know the dimensions of that engine? complete engine (which looked virgin) was $175. does anyone know if it'll fit?

i read that build but i thought he had to mod the front to make it fit. the rally i want to do says it must stay stock. is there a way for me to fit it in the engine bay by just making my own mounts?

It won't fit unless you either cut the front or the firewall. Look at the pictures how tight it fits:

i thought i read that the only reason he cut the front was to allow for an intercooler

Maybe it can fit without cuting the front if you put the car on?

The engine come from under the car....

i think im just going to settle and use a 4age... which means a 7m-ge or two will be for sale soon... from what i've read you can get a 12psi 4age to 250hp and thats not far from the 300 hp i want... so like i said more than likely im going to just buckle under pressure and use a 4age....
