4A Ge Conversion Into A Ke 70

[KE seventy]

Hey, so i bought myself a 83 Ke70 just recently, and i was wanting to convert it to a 4age. just need help on what i need for it and pricing ranges.

and also ive been researching for coilovers, do i need to get lower control arms and ae86 coilovers?

 

cheers

You need a whole bunch of stuff. Probably easier to sell the KE70 and Start with an AE71. It will make your life ALOT easier.

Have a look through this thread for information on lowering/coil overs re: KE70 http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/57187-ke70-lowering-thread/

For the 4AGE you'll need:

 

Engine, gear box, AE71 cross member, gearbox x member, AE71 pedal box, clutch master and slave, tail shaft.

 

Those are the basics. Prices vary wildly.

You'll also want a t-series diff.

 

To build my 4age ke70 I bought:

 

- an ae71 pedal box - $50

- a ke70 (obviously!) - $250

- a T18 to donate its t-series diff - $400

- a wrecked japanese ae86 to donate the rest of the driveline, electrics and suspension - $3500

 

Once I had those, the conversion only took a few weekends!

thanks guys, do you reckon i could just get a sort of modernish corolla with the 4age in it already, pull it out of that and just dump it in with custom engine mounts?

This is the best way to do it, but I would just buy rwd engine mounts instead of making them.
