Hullo! So I want to put a 16 valve 4AGE into my KE70. I don't want super heavy duty this and that, mostly standard stuff. So I was thinking that I will get the 4AGE, use AE71 engine mounts, engine x member, gear box x member, T50 gear box, AE71 tailshaft, pedal box. I find myself thinking, 'Then why did you get a KE70 if it's just going to be an AE71?". Particularly so as mine is a 1984 with slanty front, which I want to change aswell.
My question is (basically seeking some justification in my actions here), is it worth seeking out these individual AE71 components? Had I have bought an AE71 I may have had to replace a few parts anyway. Or should I just go the whole hog and purchase more performance oriented components? May seem a bit open ended, but a bit of wisdom from the higher powers would be much appreciated!
(Don't get me wrong, I love my KE70 and aren't looking for an excuse to pawn it off and buy an AE71)
EDIT: Something like an AE92 or AE82 also uses 4a series engines. Would the mounts and such off these vehicles also work for me KE70? Or just the mounts but the x members wouldn't fit?
