I have an 1985 mister 2 and my mom is the original owner of the car then she gave it to me a couple years ago and i was driving and all of a sudden there was a loss in power and a ticking noise

i think it may have jumped timing but my motor wont run right at all and i was wondering if a 4AGZE would fit as in bolt in or what modification would be needed, the motor i found (in person) has transmission, ecu, all belts, and wire harness, and pretty much everything else so i guess my real question is, is a 4agze swap bolt in on an 85 mr2 mk1 ($1300 for motor and everything) or if you know the problem is it worth it to fix my NA motor/rebuild the original... and thats it lol I LOVE MY MR2 SO PLEASE HELP

it's mostly* bolt in. the wiring is the hard part. if you're going to go through all that trouble I'd put in a 2ZZ if you're going to leave it unmodified or a 1ZZ if you plan on giving forced induction. I wouldn't rebuild a 4A unless it's a personal thing.
