Hi guys i was just wondering if a small block chev motor will fit in my 77 ke30 rolla

Any swap is possible some are just impractical,has been done ,but it would mean a lot fab and reinforceing.

Then it would be good in a straight line :lolcry:

if you got the cash, i got the dodgyness. sure why not

I put a 350 in a LJ Torona once, went great in a straight line, but would not turn.

My mate turbo'd his 202 LJ, His mod was nicer to drive, needed no engineering back then, He left the granny spec silver paint and wheels on, and he never got a hard time off the cops.

Small block sounds nice and a strip only car may be a good thing, They only just shoe horn into a LJ, I'm guessing KE30 would need major engineering.

I'd save my cash, have you considered a beams or 4age and add some nitrous for the 1/4 mile ?

Cheers

Andy

maybe not then lol what would be the best motor with vheaps of power that is street legal

4kc

how big is that sry i don't know all that much about this stuff atm

:lolcry:

:laff: Stock rolla engine is a K motor (3,4Kc). Don't worry bro, we'll learn ya. :y:

 

A corolla is a very light vehicle, planting a heavy 6/8 cylinder motor in it is gonna mess up its engineered balance.

 

Think of a go kart with a 125cc motorbike engine and then putting a 4 cylinder car engine on it.

 

Its gonna handle like poo.

Hunt through the rides section. Read some threads. There are a few 6cyl conversion threads.

Most are burnout cars or drag cars.

Shouldn't have any problems getting one to fit in your 30

Ha, a 308 fits nicely and it is wider then a chev so I don't know why you need to shoehorn them.

 

Trev that looks like a toadrunner, haha

 

and a 2 bolt main engine

And it still has more street cred then any other corolla.

 

haha nice one, same colour as mine?

 

I had police the other night come up to me thinkin mine was a Torana, haha

 

I think they might have that one mixed up with mine
