The only pic i have of my baby before i got married.

 

Yeah, i know, does not fit in, as it is a TE, not a KE.

 

From memory, Stock 2TG with sequential Mikuni carbs, 5 speed, with non original front flares, non original interior and mixed rims.

 

Was fun to drive, wish i had it back again.

Pfft not to wide enough lol! Seriously though, there is a bloke on here running 13x10s inside TE27 flares. It's amazing what you can do with the right offset ;)

Name: Greg

Car: 1973 KE20

 

Motor & Driveline: 5K K50 5 Speed CIG 4:1:1 Locker

Suspension & Brakes: Stock brakes. Front 2" Lowered King Springs Monroe Gas, Stock Brakes with VH40 booster, Front K-Mac 30mm Competition sway bar, rear has K-Mack sway bar, all have Nolothane Bushing, 63mm lowering blocks with HQ Holden air shocks, I can sit it at just about any hight I like, rear strut brace & home manufactured pan hard rod,

 

Wheels & Tyres: Centrelines 185-65-13 Also change to 13X8 Superlites or Mazda RX4 Steelys with 185 BF Goodies and granny hub caps first pic, and I also have a set of 5 1/2x13 Bathhurst globes for it,

 

Interior: Pretty much stock: Has New door cards front & back fabbed by myself, Smiths vac, volt, and oil gauges, KE25 under dash parcel shelf, Celica TA22 LT centre consol, saas 1 inch steering wheel, Toyota corolla KE20 Factory Optional dash mounted tacho rare as, Pioneer CD 400 watt Sansui amp home made 3 way boxes in the back, snazzy retro brake and strobing indicators in the back window 'sooo coool baby' new carpet still waiting to retrim front seats back to original,

 

Body:Stock except has 72 bonnet don't seem to rust as much as others i've had, resprayed 6 years ago stock tojo yellow.

 

Other: Motor has been fully balanced and blue printed, is as single squish 0 piston motor with twin 40dcoe webers bolted to a 3K worked big port head, hurricane header from Liverpool exhaust centre, 2inch system with hotdog muffler, 4K-E electronic dizzy, GT40 coil with top gun leads, Facet electic fuel pump, VS Commodore thermo fan run off Davis Craig controller, fan fits perfectly in stock fan cowl, , will eventually have TE27 fender flares to fit my 13X8 superlites under so it doesn’t attract mobile disco’s with a government invoice book, Future mods just freshen up the motor with new rings bearings oil pump shimmed, solid lifter conversion ordered 3F solids from Autobarn Taree $8 dollars each, and definitely a good midrange to top end cam grind, head shaved a little and just generally tidy her up again the dreaded cancer starting after 6 years with no garage, will need some attention soon it's not bad has a few little bubbles but best keeping it under control, that just about covers it for now, I want to keep it stock looking for now.

Updates: over the past 12 months I've added a SC14 Supercharger, it blows through my Webers which I turbo peeped by adding boost reference lines to the float bowl covers to the planum and rubber cover plate gaskets, buy doing this prevents the floats collapsing under boost, the fuel is supplied with a VL EFI Turbo fuel pump running through a malpiassi fuel regulator, boost retard is controlled by the retard unit on the KM36 electronic distributor, this system works very well with no lean out and truck loads more torque, the charger is mounted onto a slightly modified 7K aircon bracket, I've kept the magnetic clutch on the charger and it runs at 8psi at the moment, eventually the charger will be activated at just after half throttle with a simple no/nc limit switch setup, I do have a 7KE injection manifold but I'm goin to run with this setup for now, while its running sweet anyway,

Cheers Greg.
