Cheers mate, I was on the look out for them for ages. When I ordered the Recaro I also ordered a seat rail for it from the same place. But they're custom made. A bit pricey but I think it's worth it.

I'll be looking into doing that then. It's an exciting little build that's for sure. Ideally I'd like to keep the downdrafts because of the dual manifold I've got, which I think is pretty cool. I'll look into the webers, I wasn't sure if I'd be over fueling it or not by going to that sort of carb. I see a lot of debate on people's choices for them and it's an area I'm not very experienced with so any help is much appreciated.

Thanks! I was thinking about a port job, I'm unsure yet. It depends on what sort of gains I'll get out of it. As for the 7K carbs I was worried they'd be too much for the little 4K. What do you think it regards to jetting options etc Valve lift at TDC is .040" and .053"

Have been quiet for a while and haven't made too much build progress but I've been gathering various goodies. At the moment the head is in the machine shop getting skimmed, going for a 10:1 compression ratio with dual valve springs this will suit the cam which I got done by, Tighe, got a 280/280 duration.I feel like this will do well for a street application. Will probably look into a port and 3 angle valve job depending how responsive it will be with the 3k dual carb intake and two 7k carbs. If anyone has any info on running a setup like this and any additional head work they've done that would be most welcome. Purchased a tacho speedo from a lovely memeber. YJPN also opened a wide range of various things, I got a Recaro LS and a MOMO Indy wood, I was on the lookout for a period correct seat and wheel combination for a while. That's the goal with most of this, as period correct as possible. Thanks for reading.

Hey guys I've got my hands on a twin carb manifold to go on my 4K. I'll be running two 7K carbys, just wondering what ramflow air filters to run on them, can't find much info on the web. Cheers Pic related, manifold in question but with 4K carbys.

Try Toyota for weather strips, can't be 100% sure but sometimes dealers still have old bits laying around. YOu'll be fine with lowered King springs if that all you want to lower it.

Cheers fellas will follow it up

Hey guys does anyone know where I can buy cam followers/ lifters for a 4K-C, one what ones can be substituted that fit, I've done a google but can't find any. Needs to be brand new as I've got a new camshaft. TIA

Hey everyone, I've been lurking for sometime and finally decided to make an account now that I actually own a KE70. I bought this wonderful poo brown slant front off a friend for $500. It's not pretty, nor does it have an engine or much else going for it but I'm going to get it running and then daily drive it. Plans are to build it into a decent little 4K for now. Originally I had planned for a 7K but at the moment I'm going to modify the 4K. This is the journey so far; Got it, got a set of wheels for it, pulled some engines apart and decided to replace whatever I think I should to make one decent runner out of a few, new clutch and new head. I'll update the thread whenever I get something new or do something. Cheers.
