I got my self an immaculate ke30 recently, absolutely rapt with it, now i just gotta get it registered.

The engine bay was plastered with grease and crap when i got it, 3 cans of degreaser later......

wow, shes a minta! nice find, even though she's a slush-o-matic but thats easily fixed!

Nice and neat for a KE30. You gonna just get the rego and enjoy it leaving it stock? Or some other plans?

I'm gunna leave it original with the exception of whitewalls venetians and a massive lowering job, then put a different engine in it of some sort. Gunna leave it auto, so it will be a nice cruiser. No idea what engine maybe a 5k if i can find one, thats about it.

very nice man! i'd keep it original lol.

Long time no update. Well the little 3k decided to let go quite a while ago and i was undecided as to how to re-power the rolla. Then a mate made a suggestion that he had a spare driveline lying around that we could use so away we went. And yes i know its been done before but anyway. Pics:

don't forget even more understeer it will have now that a boat anchor has been fitted :nervous:

tight fit.. Though the 3K probably still has more go and is quiter than that 3800.. tappet rattle FTW. And if you havnt already, replace the harmonic balancer as they go VERY easily and it sounds like a metal cat is screaming in the engine. You do brake upgrade too?

it might not be a go cart but it should boogy in a straight line. how long did it take you to cram the commo v6 in?

Thats overrated. Unlucky about the commodore engine getting stuck in there though. :nervous:

 

Not my pick but not my car is it. |blink|

 

Nice rolla buddy.

 

Is it a 30 or a 55? Because its a 55 dash and a 55 master cylinder. :lol:

Its a 78-79 ke30.

 

Note bumpers, grill, rear quarter vents etc are most deffinately ke30. Late dash identifies its a 78-79, but I didn't know these had square master cylinders - maybe it has been swapped!?
