My 7k Conversion Done (running)

[KE30_KE35_KE55]

should have lots of torque. I wonder how a toyota/ holden Trimatic would go behind a 7k. in a KE30, I could build a stronger trans if they use the same housing as the v8 trimatic.

I'm pretty sure when I got my 7K (which was in a ke35 at the time) the sump had been swapped for the 35 sump.

 

P.S. Haven't been on here in months so I'm going through and reading all the old 7k threads.

 

i seriously doubt that as we tried a 3k and 4k sump and they both didn't even line up to the 7k block. The only one we didn't try was a 5k sump so we had to cut the 7k sump to clear the crossmember instead.

Please, what is a 7K and what is it out of, and what did it go into. Would it have been to hard to

move the motor back and get the tail shaft cut so it would clear the stering.

7k is a 1.8 litre K motor. Came in efi and carby forms and is commonly found in late model lite ace vans.

Not lite-ace, it is found in the Townace models. Probably what you meant! - see pic

so apart from knockin in the sump, using the 4k box, clutch, flywheel, and engine mounts.....there was no modifications needed at all?

Thats it, 5k = liteace.

I did my conversion on a KE30, and the sump had to be modified quite a bit. Also the engine mounts had to be shimmed otherwise it wouldnt bolt up. Anyone who says its bolt in is lieing! I also found out the hard way that the 7K fly and clutch, although it will fit, doesnt drive well at all, and requires mods to bellhousing. I also had to disconnect the heater, as the hoses and fitting were different sizes, and also had impossible bends in them

i wonder how long a standard K40 and clutch assy lasts behind a worked 7K. mmm.

My stock 7k just have a K50 behind it.

 

...but yeah I don't trust that. Thats why I have a K-W50 sitting there ready for my next project. :D

whats the power/torque for the 7k compaired to the 4kc?

[seabiscuit]

Lots more! I haven't looked myself but I'm quite sure it can be found in the FAQ's.

[Evan G]

7k = 80 hp (60 kW) at 4600 RPM and 103 ft·lbf (139 N·m) at 2800 RPM

4k = 65 hp (48 kW) at 5600 RPM and 72 ft·lbf (97 N·m) at 3600 RPM

 

not enough to blow diffs?

 

i wouldnt bother for 25hp and 40nm more, i prob can get that with a dodgy turbo 4kc

 

my 2 cents anyways :wink:

that torque would make a HUGE difference, and you will find the 7k with mild work would be much more lively than that.

and its gonna be alot neater and more headache free than a turbo 4k, and probably cost about the same, depending on factors...

[Tally]

so basically with that extra torque, if you had a 7k in a ke70 it could actually rip skids? lol
