I have a Lola T540 that has been configures aerodynamicaly as a FA.  The
engine in it is a WV (Super Vee) 4cyl water cooled.

I want to put an engine in the car that would be correct for FA.  I think
this engine is correct since I think Super Vee is allowed to race as FA, but
am not sure.  If not, what would be the least ecpensive (hopefully
obtainable from a junk yard) engine that would be correct.

I know that the pro series uses a 1600 cc Toyota.  Would this engine be
found in a Supra made since 1978?  I just happen to be looking for a Supra 5
speed gearbox for my E-Type Jaguar and if I could pick up an engine for the
Lola and a gearbox for the Jag in the same purchase it would be a great
coup.  Since my Lola is a 1979 I would like to find a 1979 Supra (if it has
the correct 1600cc engine).
                                                                            
         JIM I.
