It should be. AFAIK all mk1 mr2's had 4age lumps.
It's a looong way from Yorkshire though !

I can confirm that the engine in the picture is a 4AGE (99% sure, anyway). I have two in my garage and they are identical to the engine shown, IMO.

I think that it is the TVIS version, which is not so practical for a Locost as you generally have to modify the inlet plenum (unless you have a high bonnet line). The TVIS manifold is not easily modified, in my experience, and a non TVIS will be needed along with a mating flange to join the two. Not a major problem, just something to be aware off.

Cheers guys, I just thought it was cheap! I'm not after one for the Avon, but I'm interested in buying an MR2 and wondered what sort of money a 4age went for.

Whats the going rate for a 4age then?
