930LLO Posted August 6, 2009 Report Posted August 6, 2009 Hey everyone I have decided that the 4K toyoglide driven KE25 needs a new engine just wondering what you guys think of me putting a 4AGE into it? It wont be straight away it needs some rust fixed up first and a paintjob the interior is overrated so its just all the funstuff left PAINT + ENGINE CONVERSION + REGO = ZOOM I'm not looking to turbo it or make it fully sick just wanting to know if you think its worth it TIPS / HINTS Thanks 930LLO Quote

TE278U Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 2T/3TG hybrid will be better than 4AGE by a country mile, will be period correct, go twin sidedraughts, and you've got sweet induction noise too. will beat most commodores. (apparently that's all you need in life :D ) my 2c Quote
Felix Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Just throw a decent 4k or 5k in it with a 5 speed and drive it. Work on the suspension and brakes as you go along, and do a conversion later if you still want to. Cars are meant to be driven, not worked on. Edited August 7, 2009 by Felix Quote

I bought a KE20 off a bloke who had put in a really worked 5k motor. Oh what a feeling :lolcry: Quote
PHATKE20S Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 Just throw a decent 4k or 5k in it with a 5 speed and drive it. Work on the suspension and brakes as you go along, and do a conversion later if you still want to. That's the best advice I reckon.... KE2X's should of had 5K's from the factory :P Quote
930LLO Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Posted August 11, 2009 hhhmmm so you guys reckon i shouldnt bother with the 4age cause I picked up and 4k with a 3k bigport head might put that in and tubo it later.??? Quote

Yeah go with that in the mean time. If you want to turbo it later then get yourself a 5k bottom end and slap the 3kbp head on it as it will lower your CR. :P Quote
