September 26, 200818 yr comment_277511 stick with the 4k for now and get off your p's then when you got experince chuck a ca18det with a 5spd and go ape ( i know it's a nissan but they go hard ) and most people put a 4a of some sort in as an upgrade Report
September 26, 200818 yr comment_277514 Pretty open ended question mate. Best motor will depend on your fabrication skills, knowledge and of coarse, budget. Personally I think the best motor is a 4age. Simple conversion, reasonable power, and you can have some great fun with it if you also do some basic suspension mods. But hey, if you have an endless amount of money and time, do something stupid and put a 1uz in it or what ever floats your boat...The "best" motor is one that you are capable of putting in, handling , and being able to afford. If you want sometihing simple, put in a 5k, or even 7k if you feel a little more ambitious. but If you want more power it will cost more money etc. Best motor will basicalally be narrowed by your budget. Also, if you are on your Ps then "best" motor is a 4k. as it is the only legal motor you can drive wiht in that car... my 2c. ps: drunk as Report

September 27, 200818 yr comment_277637 go 4k chuck a 32/36 weber/holley and they go farely hard!! got a movie of my ke70 (4k) with a 32/36 holley, shitty nokia quailty but you get the point! Report
September 27, 200818 yr comment_277645 :yes: 7K engine- do you need to do the crossmember/ brakes etc? Afaik, the 7K uses the standard crossmember, but has different mounts, and also the sump will need modding so it doesn't hit the crossmember or something. I am not 100% sure on this, but there are a few guys on here who have/had 7K's in their cars, and can probably provide the info required to fit it. I don't think that you'd have to upgrade brakes on a KE70, but it'd be something I'd look into doing. I like to follow the line "more go, more slow". KE70s have easy options for better brakes, if you have a search/use the faq, you can find out all the info you need. Report
September 28, 200818 yr comment_277743 The 7K apparantly has thinner mounts to compensate for the wider block. so it'll bolt up to the original mounts but modding of the sump is needed to clear the crossmember or visa versa (id mod the sump personally). Report
September 28, 200818 yr comment_277784 just keep the ol 4k. do some cam work, new carby and clean her up, they're bloody good on fuel and they have a bit of kick. atleast wait until you REALLY know how to drive to put something powerfull in it my 2c Report
