pyrohamish Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 Well I've bought a sierra halfway through a 4k conversion and wondering which gearbox this is and where I can get the mounts for it? It is a 5 speed, thats about all I know, looks like some kind of adapter plate between the engine and bellhousing. Quote
7shades Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 Looks like your regular garden variety K50 Quote
Evan G Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 the shifter isnt as far back to be a 70 box? ^^^ thats a ke55 5 speed box above Quote
pyrohamish Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Posted March 2, 2011 What cars will have the gearbox mount on them that I could scrounge off? Anyone got a pic of how they are mounted/a mount? Quote
Evan G Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 basically anything fit! (use the front mount witch bolts straight up into the hosuing not on the side. aslong as its nice and thick and got a hole in the middle sould be fine. line it up with the x member/drill the holes and she'll be sweet i used a engine mount out of a booze bus generator i found at work :lolcry: Quote
pyrohamish Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Posted March 2, 2011 Ahh ok, I didn't realise it bolted up through, should be right now. Is it worth putting a build thread on here for the sierra would anyone be interested? Quote
Old fella Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 If you are anywhere near Toowoomba, I`ll give you a crossmember if you pick it up. Cheers. Quote
BReNt Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 Ahh ok, I didn't realise it bolted up through, should be right now. Is it worth putting a build thread on here for the sierra would anyone be interested? Yes please do! Quote
Twinky Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 I'll double check but I think you are right Evan. I know that the KE70 5 speed sits 90 mills back and that does not really look it. Quote
ke70dave Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 Ahh ok, I didn't realise it bolted up through, should be right now. Is it worth putting a build thread on here for the sierra would anyone be interested? i would love to see the build thread. may i ask why k motor is such a popular conversion into the ol' sierras? mate of mine has a sierra (1996 i think) and the little 1.3 carby appears to be quite a bit more powerful than the 4k?

pyrohamish Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Posted March 2, 2011 I guess because they are easy to find and cheap to get parts for and that stuff. I bought the car with the 4k in it but dodigly mounted and wired, fixing it all up now. The previous sierra I had had the G13a in it and that revved like no tomorrow but loved to smoke. Quote
pyrohamish Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Posted March 3, 2011 Has a flange input, so its just a case of making up a jack shaft to suit. Quote
