Roo Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) hey this is the new project, a 1974 ke20 atm the specs are: Engine Specs 4k engine with fresh rebuilt bored out 60" with new ACL pistons Ported & Polished Head double valve springs Custom Grind Cam Done by Tighe Cams webber 32/36 tuned length extractors and 2" exhaust system Crow Cams Electronic ignition Electric dizzy Rebuilt 5spd gearbox suspension: front is cut springs new shocks adjustable lcas New Front DBA Rotors with Bendix CT Pads. The Calipers have been rebuilt and gold Anidiozed New wheel Bearing Kits rebushed rear looks like reset springs added swaybar and now the pics front (she is sexy, got cold air induction) interior, pretty shit but will fix her up the beast of a engine my new front brakes and adjustable lcas cam is really lumpy so idle is like a rotor but i guess the exhaust doesnt help so the plans: full respray, better front suspension, full retrim, new rims, new exhuast will get a vid of her idling soon so what you guys think? cheers andrew Edited July 6, 2009 by Roo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) I'm not normally a fan of the ke20 shape, but I must say that she's got a real period 70's street tough look happening with the stance and wheel/tyre combo on it. :sob: I like the colour, suits it well. You might need to throw some stock LCA's on it for RWC. Edited July 6, 2009 by Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolliac Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) Those engine specs sound good. Like the wheel and tire combo too. Kind of muscle car look. Reminds me of this car. Edited July 6, 2009 by Rolliac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 1) throw that carby setup as FAR as you can throw it. Replace with 2x DCOE 40mm Side-Loveing Mommys 2) put 45° internal shamfer angle on all extractor ports (Not on the cyl head) ensuring the shamfer external surrouding edge is larger than that of the exhaust port on the head 3) Throw solid fan into bin, mount thermo fan 4) Throw that Valvoline filter in the bin, get an old school Toyota genuine one (re: oil pressure related stuff(s)) 5) de- paint the engine bay. +10 HP atw. You wont know the car if you do those few things. Seriously, it will make a woooorld of difference. 1) $300 Carbs, $100 linkage $100 manifold $300 tuneing' $100 misc. parts, $150 Trumpies = $$ about a Grand give or take 2) Dremel end $80 on air compressor wizz tool 3) $150 4) $25 5) $- :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 This sharp edge effectively stops the reversion process, contaminating the fresh mix into the cyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleRedSpirit Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Hey nice car Roo. I dunno whats going on there, but I thought conventional wisdom had the swaybar attaching to the diff and the body. I can't work out what that will do, except maybe stopping tramp? Seems odd, I'm sure from another angle we could see whats going on better... I have little to no experience tuning leaf rear ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
