There are no manufacturer markings. Any ideas?

I'm running 13x7 wheels with +3 offset on my 1971 KE20 and have no issues with fit. Tires are 185/60/13.

Anyone know which engines will fit directly in my KE20 with a 3KC motor now without modifications to the mounting locations? Will a 4AGE fit? I know most of the Honda motors are interchangable amongst the different models as thay all have identical mounting locations and wanted to know if my Corolla might be that way too. I want to do a motor swap without custom fabrication. I am in Los Angeles so something that was also available in US spec cars so I can find it here. Thank you.

Trying to get a part for my car from Toyota here is like calling them and asking for a BMW part. They have no idea what my car is. Anyone have a part number for the dash pad?

The cracked dash is a good indicator that this car spent all its life in Southern California. With minimal rain and over 300 days a year of sunshine we don't have any rust problems but cracked dasher are a must. ;)

The interior has Recaro seats and the center console from the VW GTI I think. The dash pad is cracked and lifted but besides that everything else is in pretty good condition.

Interestingly enough I recently found some 13x7 wheels for my car that have the correct 4x110 bolt pattern. The are actually made in Australia and are ROH wheels. Are these wheels better quality wheels or not so much? They made a long journey at some point to Los Angeles I guess.

These are photos form the annual TORC show in Long Beach California from yesterday. http://s1189.photobu...189121788934146

Thank you for the link. There seems to be bits of information here and there but I have yet to find a thread that can offer exact information including measurements of the blocks, pin size and correct hubs for a 4x114 conversion. I was hoping someone that had done these modifications can give me exact materials and the correct materials needed.

Can anyone tell me where to source the correct lowering blocks for my car? A website or maybe a link to a website? I checked Ebay Australia but nothing for the KE20.

The car has a 3KC motor and is a 4-speed manual. I have also added a few more photos to the original post.

Thank you for the kind words. The car is a Southern California car so it is basically rust free. Only minimal surface rust in the spare tire area but I sanded that off and painted it. I look forward to learning from the forum members here as there are only a few of these Ke20 Corollas here in the US and not much interest in them in the local forums.

Hello all. I recently bought a 1971 KE20 Corolla 2-door sedan and need help on a few items. I am a novice at this so I would appreciate detailed responses with possibly photos if available. First, I want to lower my car and need to know what size lowering block you guys use, dimensions of the block, what is the size of the pin but also the length and width of the U-bolts. I want to lower the car between 30mm to 40mm. The front springs I want to cut as I am in Los Angeles and there are no part suppliers for these cars and to order from overseas will be very expensive. How much does cutting one coil lower the car? My second issue is it is very difficult to find 4x110pcd wheels. Are there any axles or front hubs that have a 4x114.3 bolt pattern that are a direct replacement? I think 1972 and later used the 4x114,3 but I may be wrong. I would appreciate solid advice from people who have experience rather than people just stating their opinion without knowing for sure. Thank you in advance.
