Well, the stories are cute, but I haven't seen any figures on bhp/L. I'll look it up.

 

A bigger motor does produce more power, but they tend to be less and less efficient.

 

It's this sort of curve-

 

7K, 1.78L, 80bhp, 45bhp/L. Wiki

5K-U, 1.49L, 70bhp 47bhp/L Townace, englishauto.vl

4K, 1.29L, 65bhp, 50bhp/L Wiki

3k, 1.17L, 60bhp, 51bhp/L Wiki

 

Now care top add the torque per litre figures?

Reckon you could reverse that list.

Just because it would be good for hauling loads doesn't mean its no good for anything else!

So does anyone have one for sale, I got the wreckers looking across hotline for me

7k aparrently arrive at wreckers and leave soon after . They still seem to sell like hot cakes even know they are expensive to buy .. What state are you in ? I just picked one up luckily :) could keep eye out for you if interested in freight if live outside Qld

I was here on Saturday asking about 7K's - they apparently get them resonably often (had 2 or 3 there at the time I think). He said roughly half are carby and half are injected and that he also has a few manifolds and other injection parts for K motors, didn't ask on prices. Worth a call IMO.

 

They're a pretty good bunch of guys and if they know you're serious they'll keep an eye out for stuff for you.

Cheers,

That is very handy to know worth giving them

a call

I got one :) I need a 7k starter motor tho the rest of the shit off the 4k bolts straight on apparently, fuel pump, intake, has electronic dizzy, just need a starter

u can use the 5k n 4k starter apparently

Oh really? Gavclassic rekons I have to use the 7k starter

I'm looking to do the same conversion an apparently the starter is the same?... but aside from that I'm still pretty unsure of what else i have to change

aparently the 7k starteris much better one to use cause turns it better but u can use a 5k or 4k one if can't get 7k one

well I'm using a 3k starter and have for over a year and it works great.

aparently the 7k starteris much better one to use cause turns it better but u can use a 5k or 4k one if can't get 7k one

 

aka reduction drive starter. :wink:

I just need to get my néw clutch n then the transfer will be going down :)

So I'm thinking of a 7k into my ke70,

I wanna know any shit fights with this conversion, all I know of so far is I have to use the 4k sump, is there anything else?

Does anyone know anyone who has done this?

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, just asked here first before the ball gets rolling

Any help appreciated

I mean it's a pretty decent engine with decent low end torque but the impressive thing is they're reliable Af. I abused mine for like 10 years still runs no oil leaks no heating issues just a good old workhorse but they don't like to rev past 5k cuz there's a massive drop in power after 5k so you gotta keep it below that.... And the swap was pretty easy mine had 2.0 liter diesel (2C) took that out except the tranny and swapped in a fresh 7ke.
