dapbmw Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Hello I am new to the rollaclub. I just bought a 1970 KE17 Sprinter with an automatic :P . I do not want the automatic of course. So I was thinking about dropping a 2t/3t with a t50, will these be easy to do? I know the easiest would be a 4k or 5k modified with this cars 3k head? and twin side drafts with a t50. Does the t50 need to be modified as far as cross member and tail shaft ends? I definitely will upgrade the front supension with something later that has disc brakes on it and a later rear end from a later corolla model. So what is the best suspension and brake upgrade? How about dropping a BMW M10 motor and tranny? I have three of them in my garage So this is the most cost effective on for me. TIA, Dave 73 BMW 2002 tii 76 BMW 2002 Schnitzer wide body 70 Corolla KE17 Sprinter 05 Corolla LE Edited July 22, 2009 by dapbmw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
