hi just wondering does anyone know if the 7k will bolt into my coupe and what sort of power output does it have as i have just been offered a 7k motor but never delt with this sort of motor

If you're talking about a KE35 or KE55 coupe, it will bolt in with a few modifications. It's been explained numerous times here!

 

As far as I know you will need to:

 

1. Modify the sump to clear the crossmember.

2. Adapt a 3/4/5k flywheel to it so it will bolt up to the K clutch/gearbox

3. Something with engine mounts as block is 10mm wider

 

If you've been offered a 7k motor, I'd take it. Has HEAPS of torque compared to other K motors, but doesn't like being rev'd

due to its extra long stroke. It's main purpose was for vans and other heavy vehicles - towing power! If you want to know

power figures just Wikipedia it. However, I would choose a 5K over a 7K. Can rev the crap out them and are a little more

interchangeable with other K motors. No mods will need to be done to bolt in a 5K. Only downside is the lack of that extra

torque. Still torquey enough to get you going in a small Corolla, though.

hey buddy, do you still have the 7k engine??

i know this is old but can a 4k exhaust manifold be used on a 7k a mates 7k manifold is busted.

i would say only a ke70 4k would work cause its got a single round outlet not a twin like 30/55's

 

then depends on how much egr and emisson crap you wanna keep
