I had a 253 KE20 Corolla once, i bought it from a friend as a roller, it used to have a pretty stout 308 in it, won archerfield burnout comps a few times.

 

I had a fresh 253 bottom end and trimatic lying around so chucked it all in, i did not believe it all fit until i had it together, no firewall mods no tunnel mods (was auto body originally) the only thing i had to do was remove the factory bump in the firewall as i was using a vh-vk style distributor and they are bloody wide. It also had a shortened 10 bolt salisbury diff in it with 4.44:1 locked centre. i finished the car to the stage where i could start it (through 4-1 collectors :D ) and drive it back and forward, with a solid mount engine and only a measly 253 it was easy to get the car rocking hard on a throttle blip :P pretty cool but the neighbours didn't think so. The radiator was a shortened WB statesman unit and sat where the grill would sit normally, the grill was then spaced out and sat slightly beyond the end of the bonnet.

 

Any way sh#t happened and i had to strip it for parts, never got to drive it so can't report on how bad it handled, it did however rip crazy fast donuts when my mate owned it so i guess it was a tad front heavy :)

 

A friend bought the rolling shell from me, poor little thing has an RB20DET in it now, all mounted up and running as far as i know, just has to paint and trim it.

 

 

 

It can't believe i don't have a bay shot :(

i measured up ages ago and found you could slot a 302 windsor into a ke30 bay with no cutting, but i would have thought you'd have to chop the trans tunnel for sure. 253 motor and box is interesting to know :P

 

if you can find a good burnout comp somewhere, a "V8 E20" would be a definite contender :D

OKE20? Make sure your mate gives you pics of his build up! I suggested this and was told it couldn't be done.. so now I AM curious! :P
