ke35R0LLA Posted June 21, 2013 Report Posted June 21, 2013 Hey does anyone know if a 3k or 4k head will fit on any of the newer 1.6 liter engines and how many mods and how hard it would be to get in a ke35 Quote
altezzaclub Posted June 21, 2013 Report Posted June 21, 2013 What would you gain?? It would still be a pushrod non-crossflow singlecam leaning-over piece of crap... You'd be better to try and fit a newer head onto a 4K block, but seeing as they are all belt-driven twincams it is not easy. Quote
ke35R0LLA Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Posted June 21, 2013 Ok thanks, what is the best or easiest to getmotor to swap a 3k for? Quote
ke35R0LLA Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Posted June 21, 2013 and the reason behind it was to get slightly mor hp and not have to get it engineers certified depending on how different it looked... Quote
ke35R0LLA Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Posted June 21, 2013 that was a thought but i couldnt find any in nsw with a price tag that was way over the top... Quote
rallydad Posted June 21, 2013 Report Posted June 21, 2013 If 5k is too hard, I got good results from a 4k with 32/36 downdrafft weber (off a wrecked alfa) mounted on adapter plate to standard manifold and extractors/exhaust. The head was planed to bump compression and I fitted an electronic dizzy out of a hiace. Cost around $600 including exhaust done at mate's rates. It did rev well but at the end of the day it was still a 4k. Any more mods than that you're better off with a 5k as they are a bit more torquey. Now have 4age and wouldn't go back to k series. (sorry k series fans) Quote
ke35R0LLA Posted June 22, 2013 Author Report Posted June 22, 2013 What did you do with that motor? and you can get a 4k board and its the same as a 5k? Quote
rallydad Posted June 22, 2013 Report Posted June 22, 2013 That motor was sold in the last ke30 I had. Not sure what you mean by 4k board. Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted June 22, 2013 Report Posted June 22, 2013 *bored out it can be to fit 5k pistons. Quote

coln72 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Posted June 22, 2013 Surely a 5k can be found for a reasonable price. Last one I got cost $100 Quote
ke35R0LLA Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Posted June 23, 2013 ok well i will look a little harder thanks guys Quote
filfrederick Posted June 23, 2013 Report Posted June 23, 2013 What would you gain?? It would still be a pushrod non-crossflow singlecam leaning-over piece of crap... HAHA best quote ever, you sir, just made my day. Quote
