Now that is one awesome pic :P I had to shrink it though, my digi pictures are huge and are like 800k.

Hmmmm.... Think that would fit in my KE55?

Thanks for the compliment, she is a beauty. The idea for the stripes came off the old Ford Cobras. Its painted with PPG paint, so its the highquality stuff, it changes color in different light from a deep purple to an electric blue. A lot of people don't know why you would make a Corolla look that nice, but its good to see people who appreciate it.

Me and the old man are trying to get our hands on a 7K engine. With the right bellhousing will i still be able to use a five speed 4K gearbox? If i can then i might try and get a five speed gear box now (cause mine isn't too good) then get the bellhousing and engine later.

Sorry for the general post Grim, i'm fairly new to all this stuff. This is part of my research into the conversion, i thought this was probably one of the best places to find the info i needed. Your right about the gear box not fitting, which basically leaves me back where i started, with no decent gearbox. Thanks for your post Styler, i haven't really found much on the specs of the engine (Nobody really wants to put Tarago info on the net :Þ ). I might just have to leave it alone for the moment, until i can afford to go for something a litle better, maybe a 4AG conversion.

Hey guys, i've been having some problems with the gearbox in my KE55. At the moment i am running the original 4K engine with a 4 speed box that i took from a previous Corolla that i had. I thought that when i replace or fix the gear box i may as well change the engine while i am at it. So lately we have been hunting down some engines and boxes. We managed to find a cheap Tarago with a 4YE engine with a 5 speed gear box and i was wondering if anyone knows about these engines and if they will fit in the KE55. If they can fit, what modifications (if any) will i need to do: engine mounts, fuel pump etc. I'll also appreciate any comments you can add.
