Mechanical Sympathy Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) Here's some grainy shots of a 289 Windsor in a KE55 Corolla that was on Ebay a while back.Seems to fit well except for the super long water pump assembly. Certainly I think I'd prefer a revvy Windsor with a 600 Holley, slippery stalled full manual valve body C4 auto and a B&M ratchet shifter over a 1UZ but that's just my $0.02 Edited December 4, 2014 by Mechanical Sympathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustedRolla Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I've looked for other options, but they all seem to be more expensive. My thought is to get a wrecked SC400 from a junkyard, so I can get the engine, ecu, wiring rear diff etc... If someone can find all those parts for cheaper then I'm all ears. I would prefer cheaper, even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanical Sympathy Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I dunno.. if I lived in California and wanted a cool V8 to drive I think I'd be looking at other types of vehicles. However if I had a T powered Corolla in California I'd take advantage of the excellent U.S. T engine performance market. Kudos to you for doing something different.

67Rolla-Ken Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I like the idea of copying the Flea (Now known as the "No Style" Corolla). Just drop your Corolla body onto a shortened SC400 chassis! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
