Corolla_Kid Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 At the last All Toyota Day in brisbane there was a ke10 with a 7k in it. I was talking to the owner and he said it fitted no worries. He had to notch the bonnet for clearance and also (i think) used a 4k sump as the 7k one is deeper. havent got any more details though sorry.

Felix Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) not sure what Malcolm did with his. there is an older guy in brisbane with a 7k in a ke15. from what i remember him telling me (was a couple of years ago), he modified the sump and bolted it in. he ran twin aisans and didn't have any bonnet clearance issues.

Sloth Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 We have a 7k in my KE55. Fit in perfectly on the 4K mounts. Although just looking at the size of the KE1X's it looks like they might have a smaller engine bay. Mine has a 3K sump on it (which is leaking :lolcry: ). The previous owner of the engine said he replaced the 7K sump with the 3K because (as above) the 7K sump wouldn't fit. My dad said (and this might not be correct) that the 7K is physically the same size as the 4K, the only differences are internal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleks Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 folks ... just out of curiosity ... where does everyone get their hands on the 7Ks?? I wouldn't the foggiest ... and it looks like an easy upgrade (compared to some swaps I've been considering) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally though, they had it imported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLOTH Snr Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Sloths 7k sits straighter than the 4k. We ran a 3k inlet manifold and 4k carb and they fitted perfecly. The sump of a 3 or 4k will fit you just need to modify the oil pick up. Things like gearbox,manifolds and engine mounts were a staight bolt up. All Kmotors are basically the same block! Are you going to run e.f.i or carbies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
