kpope18 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Hi guys i was just wondering if a small block chev motor will fit in my 77 ke30 rolla Quote
corollaart Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Any swap is possible some are just impractical,has been done ,but it would mean a lot fab and reinforceing. Then it would be good in a straight line :lolcry: Quote
Evan G Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 if you got the cash, i got the dodgyness. sure why not Quote
Andy43 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 I put a 350 in a LJ Torona once, went great in a straight line, but would not turn. My mate turbo'd his 202 LJ, His mod was nicer to drive, needed no engineering back then, He left the granny spec silver paint and wheels on, and he never got a hard time off the cops. Small block sounds nice and a strip only car may be a good thing, They only just shoe horn into a LJ, I'm guessing KE30 would need major engineering. I'd save my cash, have you considered a beams or 4age and add some nitrous for the 1/4 mile ? Cheers Andy Quote
kpope18 Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Posted February 28, 2011 maybe not then lol what would be the best motor with vheaps of power that is street legal Quote

B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 :laff: Stock rolla engine is a K motor (3,4Kc). Don't worry bro, we'll learn ya. :y: A corolla is a very light vehicle, planting a heavy 6/8 cylinder motor in it is gonna mess up its engineered balance. Think of a go kart with a 125cc motorbike engine and then putting a 4 cylinder car engine on it. Its gonna handle like poo. http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/47807-nisrola/ http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/48261-mhmills-twin-charged-ke55-coupe/ Hunt through the rides section. Read some threads. There are a few 6cyl conversion threads. Most are burnout cars or drag cars. Quote
BReNt Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 how big is that sry i don't know all that much about this stuff atm Shouldn't have any problems getting one to fit in your 30 Quote

Ha, a 308 fits nicely and it is wider then a chev so I don't know why you need to shoehorn them. Quote
BUZ440 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Trev that looks like a toadrunner, haha and a 2 bolt main engine Quote
Trev Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Trev that looks like a toadrunner, haha and a 2 bolt main engine And it still has more street cred then any other corolla. Quote
