Ae71 Wagon Drivetrain

[rb1994]

hi

i am currently looking for an ae71 sedan to build as a slider, i have found a wagon for the right price but was wondering if it is the same as a sedan apart from the shell,

so does it have the same

4ac?

t50?

driveshaft?

diff mountings?

let me know please

cheers

Yes.

[rb1994]

isthat so hmmm wrecks that plan then haha

cheers

[Sam_Q]

you can slide leafs, just use anti-tramp rods and a pan-hard rod. Although putting a panhard in isn't that easy

[rb1994]

mmm but its just going to be a learn to slider then move onto something bigger/powerful

so the easier/quicker the better might just stick with getting a sedan then,

driveshaft? - different

[Sam_Q]

same engine/clutch/trans, both crossmembers but not the rear half of the tailshaft and diff

[rb1994]

sweet cheers guys

driveshaft? - different

 

What's different about them? Is it just that the wagon shaft is one piece while the sedan is two?

 

I ask because we are putting the sivertop, T50 and rear suspension from my old 86 into a KE70. We heard that to do that we would need the AE71 tailshaft to go from T50 to S series diff, but could keep the KE70 shaft if we were using the KE70 rear end. I've found someone locally with a one piece AE71 tailshaft from a wagan and was just wondering whether it would fit.

AE71 sedan for T50 to borgy

 

And going by what Trev and Sam say AE71 wagon for T50 to S??

 

But presumably you can mix and match with both the 86 and 70 tailshafts depending which way you want to go.

You wont be able to use the KE70 front half.

S and borgy are different.

wagon tailshafts are longer than sedan ones anyway

No.

 

I had my van one in my sedan.
