Hey everybody hows things

ok down to business i have been given a ke10 and now its time for fun i have been looking at this forum and there is plenty of excellent ideas and plenty of info but here is my question

I have been told that a 7k motor will fit in the car and there is no need to touch the engine mounts as i is the same block i was wondering if this is true

Any advice will be appreciated i want to make sure i have all the facts before i start thanks in advance :)

hi mate, that is pretty much true. it would be a very easy convertion, the only thing you may have to do is to change engine mounts over. Change your mounts that are on your motor now to the 7k or other k motor you are going to install.

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

You need to make engine mounts out of the ones that you have as the block is around 15mm wider and you also have to modify the sump to fit.

 

They are the facts.

 

Matt

so even doing those things this would still be the easiest conversion

thanks for the advice keep it coming :)

5K would be the easiest conversion... same mounts, no sump mod!

 

I'll be putting mine in in about a month.

Mines about to go in today. I'll get pics on my page.

4k is great lots of parts available up to but a car as light as yours wouldnt

take much to make it quick extractors webbers a little head work my 20

goes great with my reco 4k really depends money and what performance

your after :no2:

After a little thought i think for now i will rebuild the motor thats in it get a little more from it work on the rest of the car then make a final desision on motor if i still feel it need to be changed :dance:
