I just spoke to my engine builder, he said he has had a bit to do with alot of the rolla engines building them for rallies et.c, and mine, i asked him about getting springs, rods and work on the head, he said he's got plenty of suppliers in queensland he can easily get his hands on the gear for you. If you want to know more give me a PM or you can call him yourself Mick Free Flow Cylinder Heads & Engines (07) 3245 5044 I find if you want to know about building a engine talk to the guys who do all day everyday

Well there you go i stand corrected. I was just going off what i have been told from the guys at work. and my 4K in my KE20 was plated so yea, but if you don't need one sweet as...

I'm pretty certain you will actually need a Mod Plate. In QLD if a vehicle has had a modification were factory mounting points have been changed or modified, or the vehicle was not manufactured with that modification ie they never were produced with that engine e.t.c you will need a mod plate. so you will need a engineer to look over they transplant, he's signs off on it considering all is right, then he will make up a plate pop rivet it to the car, then you take your paperwork he gives you down to DOT and they do the rest. I'm pretty certain that's what is meant to happen. i've just been threw it all. luckily i work with three qualified engineers so if you want it down give me a yell and i can help you out cheers

Sweet as thanks guys.... i'll give it a shot and we'll see what happens if it all goes to plan i'll take some pics and put up a bit of a tech thread

Hello to everyone Just a Quick Question about relocating the battery to the boot.....basically has anyone done it? Just wondering how hard it was, headaches involved, materials required e.t.c I tried doing a search in all forums and th FAQ but couldn't find anything, if there isn't a TECH article already on it i'd be more than happy to make one as i go, but before i start jst thougt i'd od a bit of research first. Thanks

Another One under KE20, i'm in for that, my bro just bought an EH wagon and he needs a bit of gear as well, should see what he says....

All there worried about and when i say "there" i mean DOT, is that by adding the FMIC you don't cut any holes, or grind anything away becuase by doing that you weaken the crush zone of the Vehicle therefore it is no longer up to manufactures specs, when a car has been modified and needs a plate, the work done has to meet or exceed maufactures specs.

Front Mount Intercoolers are legal as long as the Impact and Crush zone on the front of the vehicle haven't been cut or weekend by the front mount beening fitted, this includes cutting 10mm out of the plastic on the bumper bar to make it fit, basically they want you to be able to bolt them on without touching a thing,

I do Mod plates and RWC's a work, by the book where meant to check the plate if were doing a RWC and it's got one, but we never do, usaully we do a RWC and Mod plate all in the one hit, it's easier that way, as said before depends were you go

Oh true, i didn't know KE20/25 came out disc brake front end, and they didn't have a booster aye, sweet, well i'll let them know and see how i go cheers guys

oh true, the car needs 8 modifications certs for RWC, we compliance and do mod plates at work and my boss is fairly relaxed on a few issues but he said i need a booster for mod plate and rwc, i'd like to put one in any idea's

Hey everyone, just a quick question i have a 74 KE20 which has had a disc brake conversion on the front KE30 i think, but it doesn't have a booster, and i am informed that to pass mod plate and RWC specs in QLD i need a booster for the disc brakes. Does anyone know if any later Boosters bolt up and work KE30, KE70 e.t.c and has anyone done it, is it easy e.t.c thanks guys any help would be appreciated.

just read the whole thread all the way through and all i can say is Wow!, much respect to you guys that's alot of comintment and alotta love good luck guys can't wait till this thing is up and running unreal!

Yea I'm a 1st year turning second in april, carburettors etc i'm still learing about everything i see today is all efi, i was thinking for a srtaight swap i've got three downdraft webbers at home and two manifolds, so i thought i can't really lose i just didn''t know if it's be a waste of time becuase i didn't know anything about these twin downdrafts e.t.c just looking for some advice and a point in the wright direction

Are the carbs anygood and worth the swap???
