KE26 Wagon Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Just picked this up and have not decided what i am to do with it (also the wife is not to impressed due to having a Ke26 4door and a 72 HQ kingswood) It is fairly rustly but still able to be saved, all the trim and mouldings are good and the tailgate does not have any rust at all. If I am to keep it, it will probably get a SR20det and set up for the drags but still street rego'd Tell me what you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 since its a commercial vehicle you could put a 1jz or 2jz into it legally. i'm really keen for one of these, the timing isn't great at the moment. my plan is to do an electric motor conversion.

Jono Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 my understanding is that commercial vehicles fall into a different category in regards to engine swaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfunkt Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 my understanding is that commercial vehicles fall into a different category in regards to engine swaps. correct. there's no 'hard' rules for commercial vehicles. so long as what you put in is balanced by upgrading everything else for the large increase in power, you can theoretically put a twin-turbo'd v12 in. each engineer will have different ideas on what is 'acceptable', so it pays to shop around and be honest. dF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
