I agree with mr220v, the 2ZZ is by far the best engine you can put in the car with little fab work. There is only one mount to mess with.

The complete engine/trans assembly is ~70lbs lighter than the 4A (thats like removing a sack of concrete from the engine bay). Engine is much lighter, C160 is slightly heavier as it has a larger case and an extra gear.

Oh, and it puts out about 65-70 hp more at the wheels. Sure, you build a MK1.5 which will take far more work to install and have MORE weight with a few extra hp. And, while he is still trying to complete the install, your having fun driving your car.
