3Tgte Or Not In Ke35

[springersrolla]

hey dudes ive got a good condition ke35 low kms, dint in the drivers door, stock everything and looks good. problem is i found a 3tgte, t50 and 9" to drop in it. all seems easy enough, ive got a t28bb for it manifold almost complete, got the engine crossmember sorted and gearbox crossmember sorted, diffs complete and shortened to suit corolla, got bigger brakes and shocks in the front already, motor and box sitting in.

 

Now i need to change my brake master to stop fouling on the manifold, got one sitting here, drill holesaw into firewall for hydraulic clutch setup, pedal already modified, wiring complete just pretty much plug in looms and sort out a few loose bits. also need to run efi fuel lines and braze a return line into fuel tank, setup fuel pump

 

My biggest drama now is, once everythings in and completed and the cars running, to get it road registered i'll need to get mod plates, not to include doing everything properly to make sure its all clear. I'm wondering if its gonna exceed the costs and be worth it. It originally ran a 5k and the cars still setup for it

 

I don't know anymore i keep umming and ahhing bout it wether its worth it or not. I sold my old original ke35 for 3500 and saw it in justcars the other week for 6900!!!! this corolla is in the same shape I'm just curious to keep it running original spec or go all out

 

If i do go all out, what is my chances of road legal, what type of fuel lines do i run?, is it worth running soft or solid fuel line whats the legalities, ive heard people have dramas getting brakes mod plated, what about the engine and gearbox, master cylinder for clutch?, diff. and at the end of the day is the motor 100% and not require me to rip it apart and find hard to get parts to keep it goin?,

 

Ive gone and f@$ked myself cause ive bought another 2 projects since and i know i should just put my time and effort into 1 not 3. anyone know any suggestions would be good, cause I'm contemplating selling up. cheers

Go and speak to an engineer, they will tell you what you need to do to get it mod plated. It's not worth asking questions like this on a forum as everyone has different experiences with engineers and you will be getting info from people in different states etc.
