A solid lifter will not collapse, you don't have to worry about check valves failing, lifters having issues pumping up, etc.

A push rod V8.

I prefer twin cam I4’s but that’s just me. I have respect for the V8.

Different strokes for different folks, eh?

Yep.

One of my buddies swapped in a 4A-GE? I think it is, into an AE86

Some 20 valve 4-cylinder from Japan

20 valve? The 4A-GE is usually 16 valve...

That can only mean one thing...

And the AE-86 is getting very rare and most already have 4A-GE’s in them.

From my understanding he imported the engine direct from Japan

There’s my V8 on it’s way to the machine shop, can you guess what it is? 😎👍🏻🤔

boeing 747

The secret engine from INITIAL-D was a 20 valve version of the 4A-GE... I didn’t know they actually existed...

so it’s not a boeing 747 engine

No it’s a Ford small block 302

Bugatti Type 35 or Cadillac Model Thirty

Just got a 2007 BMW 530i. Not sure if it was a smart choice.

3 wheeled vehicles ....
