(wow at the Xmember will rip the floor before the box will move, cheep insurance though) Like the commodore bagging from some members, should meet you guys at heathcote some time ;) clown: KE70? sorry not up to date with the whole corolla slang as of yet only started researching today JC807: Na like 4 doors better yea I'm thinking the front cut was the way to go for sure! get everything you need and you can cash in the left overs for scap metal! also do you guys meet up any where and cruise or whatever, wouldnt mind having a closer look at some of your rides

hi all first post so ill introduce myself I'm mick I'm 24 have always driven/worked on commodores (am about to change that) from eastern metro Vic my question to every one is what is the best engine conversion for the old 70's carolla's, conversions is no big deal for me have put all sorts of late model LS1's, INJ 5.0L in early commodores, but i want to build a nice 4cyl turbo daily, and i love the look of the 70's corolla's but have no idea where to start, looked at this: http://www.autotrader.com.au/iteminfo/adnu...subs_Used+Cars_ did all the usual checks, its rough but should be ok, however what are the things to pay particular attention to with these old girls? my first thought was to chuck a CA18TDET in there, maybe a pintara box and diff whats you guys thoughts? has any1 done this conversion and had any trouble engineering (brakes, body strethining, suspension, mounts etc)? hope theres some helpful guys out there, (what better place to ask really?) any help appreciated and ill thow in a pic of my current toy at heathcote, and daily
