I've finally started on my partners KE10.

Previsously was running a worked 5K big cam, twin webbers, lots of head work etc.

Now shes wants more power so its time for a ground up restoration. I'm starting by doing a full mock up first.

Any way heres some pics let me know what you all think. :D

 

Good idea.

 

Please give as many details of the conversion as you can as I want to put a 4age in my ke10 too.

Yeah awsome work! ive just started polishing the rocker covers on my engine trying to get them to look as good, it must have taken him forever.

this car needs more skids :y:

 

what have you been doing for engine mounts? modified ae71 crossmember?

 

the old 5k doesent run anymore :hammer:

Engine mounts have to be custom made from scratch , you can't use ke70- 4ac ones as a base like

a ke30? onwards,I tried that , i just got engine mounts and a new tunnel put in mine last week.

cheers

Man I'm impressed. . . .

I bow down to you! I own a 68 2-door ke10 wagon.

Currently frestoring it back to Origional, got all the chrome pieces an dgot some good pics in my head of how she'll turn out!

Was thinking repower of a 20v 4age with custom turbo manifold, maybe 4agtz-e . . . DAYDREAMER but dreams are free. Once again NICE

let me know how its coming along man

thumbs up man

i have a 17 with a 20v and its one tight fit

its that tight i have to pull the motor out to take the dizzy cap off!

Did you put the motor and box in from the top or the bottom?

where didyou put the brake booster ?

Hey Mate,

 

KE10 4AGZE. Nice! I have plans to go turbo with mine down the track, and have a spare 4AGZE engine in my garage for when that day comes.

 

I'll definitely be following your thread closely - looking forward to seeing progress. Hopefully you will be able to get your up and running in quicker time than mine has been underway.

 

I have had to do quite a bit of problem solving, so if you run into anything that you can't sort out, give me a shout and I'll see if I can help.

 

And a word of advice, don't start polishing anything! I started and realised I couldn't stop at having just one thing polished. Now I have an engine bay full of shiny alloy that will require a lot of upkeep.

 

Good luck with the conversion...

Hey everyone I know its been a while since i've actually done anything

but now I'm back into it. I now have the engine and box sitting in there

and I am about to start the engine mounts. I am going to manufacture

an L shaped mount with a brace and run the Land Rover round type rubber

mounts for a nice rigid feel. Let me know what you all think!

 

 

thats looking awesome man, can't wait to see the end product. I am in so many different minds of what conversion I want to do for my ke20, everything lately is pointing to doing a 4agze conversion

Here is the start of my prototype engine mounts. I am trying to fit the engine so I can run the 4agze factory air conditioning compressor.

 

 

A/C compressor fits pretty good.

Engine mount one.

Here's a shot of the exctractors finished. Going to be a 2.5 inch system

 

 

Here's a couple pictures of the gearbox crossmember finished. I have used the factory ke10 crossmember and had some brackets made up to extend it towards the back of the car.

Here's the engine bay with new radiator and intercooler in place.

 

That is sssssssoooooooooo tight, I love it!
