KE70 Wagon's axle into KE30 Sedan

[HaqimShah]

Hello everyone! Cheers! I have a KE30 sedan with a 4K swapped engine + KE70 gearbox. I'm currently using the stock KE30 LongShaft and Axle, is there any difference if I were to put ke70 longshaft and axle into my ke30? And can I reuse the original brake lines from my ke30 body to the ke70 axle if I were to fit it in?

I presume the wheel base dimension of the waggons, were a little greater than the sedan, so the tail-shaft would be longer, I would think.  Have a read through this post of mine, from years ago; where I basically found there was little difference in any of the gearbox "length" dimenions, although gearbox mounting points could vary slightly.

The only dimension, that could possible affect the swap; would be the distance of the tailshaft flange on the front of the diff, to the centerline of the diff, where the axles are.

There were the "banjo" type" diffs, which usually were fitted to fully imported Jaspanese models. Quite often, Aust/ AAMI assembled Corollas, had Borg Warner diffs with split cases.  Actually, I've got one of both of those, in the garage; so next time I'm out there, I'll take a measurement off both.

The other way, is to temporarily mount the gearbox & diff, You are thinking of fitting, & measure the distance between tailshaft flanges.

There is some adjustment in the splines on the front of the tailshaft, where it slides into the gearbox rear end, but I wouldn't use them unless about 3/4s of their spline lengths, were in contact. 

Cheers Banjo
