ke11restorer Posted May 7, 2006 Report Posted May 7, 2006 Hey guys and gals, I just got a ke11 and its got the stocko 3k motor in it. I'm thinkin of upgrading to somethign with a bit more balls I would like to get a 5k with a 5speed if possible/ How much usuually does a package like this go for? How easy is it a fit into the ke11? Does it bolt in? Tailshaft changes?? What amount of power can a 5k put out. I'm not hoping for huge figures but a lil bit would be good. Carbs are old school :) :) Any help much appreciated Thanks in advance Luke Quote
thomo Posted May 7, 2006 Report Posted May 7, 2006 auto import motor $750, if you can find one, ke 55 5speed box $250 from the wrecker if you can find one, tail shaft yoke of an early ke30 (external uni clips) on your tailshaft, cut a new shifter hole in the floor, everything else the same, good luck with the inj. every one else on here is trying to find that set up Quote
Corolla_Kid Posted May 8, 2006 Report Posted May 8, 2006 I got a 5k on ebay the other week for $50 :) which had already had a solid lifter conversion, headwork and huge cam (apparently). Just keep an eye out in the trading post and also on ebay and this forum sometimes has these items. anyway good luck with your project. Quote
