Hello, I am the new owner on a 88 SR5 4WD 6 speed Terk with 176,000 Kms. I am interested in converting the 3A to EFI. For the many benefits of EFI. Was the 3A ever produced with EFI? Will other Toyota EFI systems work on the 3A? What are my options? I'm just starting out so you might have to let me...

What are the differences between a 3A and a 4A block?
Is the 4A bigger or it just has thiner walls ?

Otherwise, is it possible to overbore a 3A block to a 4A size ?

I'd like to know the whole curve to check my tuning.
