haha thats sick, alright! I had a look at Ke Conversions and they're actually really reasonably priced too! $250 for a full mount kit seems pretty good to me! just to clear things up, are there any particular pedal boxes i should be looking for that are a direct bolt in, like a te31/37 pedal box? or is it easier to adapt either a ke35 or ta22 one with the necessary components?

I would also like to know if I can use the ta22 pedal box easily??

Hey guys, even though I haven't really gotten to that part yet, I found a forum post a while

back somewhere. The guy just pretty much used the original pedal box, drilled a hole, sawed

away some metal and tadaa, I'll see if I can find it

Yes I concur. I've done some looking around and I'll just be modifying my pedal box.

 

Apparently KE55 pedal boxes are easier to modify as they have the holes for the master already in place, as well as the hole and bolts already in the firewall.

 

The long and short of it is - take out your pedal box, test fit master cylinder to pedal box, cut a bit of bracing from the pedal box where it fouls the master cylinder rod, drill a hole in the pedal to mount some threaded rod or a bolt to connect the master cylinder rod. Put it all back together.

Found it! had to rummage through miles of bookmarked pages, : http://forums.mightycarmods.com/showthread.php?1214-Puzzle-mans-Toyota-KE35

Yeah I have found the same thing bolts already in place on the 30 and for 30 and 55 you can use the ta22 struts too for suspension/ brake upgrade as well

And I'm just going to use the clutch bracket before the pedal out of the ta and tac it on the ke pedal box

Yeah its been kinda quiet, but things are happening again, pulled the engine and sent the car off to get some rust sorted. Also thought it'd be fun to show you my workshed.

 

I'm on mobile right now, so I'll fix the links later on :

oh wow, dude that looks amazing! keep us updated hey, this thing is looking sick! cheers

Hey guys,

 

first post in a while because I got delayed a bit,

 

Got the block/gearbox in using jordanrollas kit, bolted right up no problem, really happy

about that ! the delay came mainly from the head, it turned out to be kinda worn out

so I sent it over to an engine shop to get new valve seats/guides etc. So after a while I got

to spend pretty much all of friday and saturday wrenching with a friend. Made good progress.

got the head on, made fuel lines, finished up the carbs, fitted the ebay-extractors which turned

out to clear the steering box perfectly but where kinda weird in that they touched the gearbox,

which tells me the QC isnt that great but at least they fit. Old radiator doesnt fit with the 2T's

fan on it, so I'm kinda on the fence between making a custom adapter to fit the fan without

the fan clutch mechanism or just doing away with the mechanical fan all together and just

switching to electric. what do you guys think ?

 

All that remains is charging the battery (yeah forgot about that one), before I could make the

engine turn over, and just the radiator remains before I could take it for its first drive.

 

Exciting times.

 

 

 

 

 

So thats pretty much how its all sitting at the moment. love to hear your ideas.
