well as i could only seem to have some peps lookin at buying the 5 speed out of my old EA and not to much else i desided to make some thing with it, and i always wanted to make one of the KE26's into a burnout machine, so a first it was a 4.2L layland all alloy V8 but it need to be rebilt and know nothing about the motor and had no box and shit with it, and didnt really want to go and but any motors fot it, so I'm useing the old eb motor and the 5 speed set up out of my ea.

 

At dis stage ive just got a half cut rolla that I'm useing to work it all out then will fix up the KE26 shell and make it a lil bit stronger and then get the motor in and start the build, but first I'm goin to make the dumby motor and car and do all that, then stop for a bit cos ive got some other things to finish first then will get into the real stuff.

 

i plan to make it for summernats next year so ive got alot of time to do it all.

 

well hears some pics for ya.

 

THE HALF CUT ROLLA

 

 

 

 

 

AS YOU CAN SEE IVE CUT A LIL BIT OUT TO GET IT IN HAHA

well i got it in the then had to cut a lil more still

 

oh yeah i almost forgot dis is the dummy motor and the ke26

 

 

 

AS YOU CAN SEE THE OLD ALLOY V8 IN THE BAY

 

NOW FOR THE MOTOR

 

 

 

 

 

THE FORD RAD WILL DO FOR NOW

 

 

WILL HAVE TO CUT DOWN AND REMAKE THE X MEMBER TO GET THE ENGINE MOUNTS IN AND OIL FILTER WILL HAVE TO BE MOVED, AS THE ONES IN THE PIC ARE BROKIN IN HALF

 

 

 

 

CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE MOTOR AND RAD, WILL MOST LIKLY RUN A SINGLE SURPENTIME BELT

 

 

ALSO WILL HAVE TO MOVE THE ALT

 

WILL HAVE TO CUT THE SUMP UP AND REMAKE IT TOO, NOT ALOT OF CLEARENCE BETWWEN THE CRANK AND THE X MEMBER SO WILL HAVE TO MOD WERE IT RUNS, LIKE CUT OUT A V IN THE MEMBER

 

 

 

NOTE THE TURBO IN PIC IS A T28, BUT STILL HEAPS OF ROMM FOR A T4

 

 

THAT BE IT FOR NOW, FEEL FREE TO LEAVE A COMENT

dis is the real motor out of the ea

 

You would be far better off using the V8 if it's for burnouts.

well i have v8S and the ford 6 fits a hell of a lot better, and will kill them when the turbo is done :hmm: and its cheaper to build for me.

 

 

lok the motor is almost holdin its self.

you are one crazy son of a bitch. id love to see the face of a DOT officer pulling this vehicle over in QLD, if you ever descided to try and drive on the road haha. :hmm:

 

lookin good :)

The V8 seems to fit a whole lot easier, at least you have a firewall with the V8

this is the exact reason i bought both of my 6 cyl ke20s.

building them sux balls.

 

also dan the engine u are using as a dumby has a highly differnt manifold so watch out because u may have 2 go custom runners and plenum on the good engine, unless u cut a hole the size of my RB30ET ke20 which will leave u absolutly no room for a clutch pedal.

 

gotta think ahead wen u building these things, if you want it to be practical, it aint just a slap in job.

 

and as for V8s 289, 302 windsors bolt in without firewall mods, hence why i got myself a 289W

 

cheers scott

a 351 Windsor will bolt in without firewall mods too then :hmm:

are i see well i dint have any of them so couldnt measure them!!! can alway make the other ke20 with one LOL i think i might, and scoot yeah i know that ive got to cut out a lil more for the MPFI manifold, so I'm goin to take out the other motor soon so i can make it all, and goin to make my own exhuast manifold so i can have a bit more room.

Thats why i went for the V6, No cutting firewalls etc, i just had to tap a bit of the tunnel to clear the CRS (castlemane rod shop) Logo on the casting of the bellhousing. thats it, you would be able to sell the eb and for the money buy a V6 and maybe even a manual box etc and like me have it almost done in a weekend.

yeah but got a v6 in a datto ute so not doin that at all. and i like the ford 6 better than the holden, not to worry my rolla freind it will all turn out ok and it will hall ass

well got the spare MPI manifold on today, if fits with ese, might not look it though cos i motor mored in the pic... LOL had to cut out a lil more, also note it will be alot neater in the wagon to, just cut out heaps so it was easyer.
