Kyle's Ke55 Project 'slow'

[kes.16v]

hey guys i got given a 1980 KE55 for xmas, needs a little TLC, but I'm already sanding it back to get sprayed in red, then I'm looking at putting all the dash and interior back together (NIGHTMARE) i need some help with wiring on that issue lol...

 

pics will be up when i take some lol...so ill probs be using the search button quite a bit and asking plenty of questions....

 

thanks guys

 

ill get some more pics up ASAP.. needs a little bit of work as i said but I'm tkaing it slow, doing the exterior first then the interior, then ill decide what to do engine wise...

hey guys do the ep91 4efte engine fit in these??? was just doing some reading and had the thougth cos of the 1300cc capacity it would keep it "kinda" original hahaha

Yeah capacity is right, but then you'd have rego issues for the fact its turbo'd!

 

Would have fun trying to fit the FWD engine to RWD anyway. Did you research gearboxes for the conversion? Probably be able to use a t50 with A series bell.

Shouldnt be too hard fitting a FWD engine to RWD if you can get a gearbox to fit, Every 4age 20V is a FWD motor and 90% 4age and ZE are FWD

yeh i would get it engineered lol, what a series bell housing would be good one to use?? and also t50 gearboxs are getting rare ay?? I'm after one so if you know anyone.... yeh i suppose it would be the same deal as putting a 4age in it, have to change mounts and what not, ill do a search now...
