[dr1ft-pig]

hey all a mate and a just bought a rust bucket ke30 and we have a 253 v8 to go in it. just wondering if anyone has pics of this or similar conversions being done..cheers http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/2thumbs.gif

[ke70dave]

there are a few v6 ke**'s over at rollaclub and its squishy.....you reckon the V8 will fit?

i just saw a pic of a injected 5 litre v8 in a ke 30 but its not a close up....anything can be done with a grinder and a welder http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/2thumbs.gif http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/2thumbs.gif

if anyone has a close up pic of this conversion done, can be ghetto as you want, we are going ghetto styles and running the headers out through the bonnet, or where the bonnet should be as we wont be haven one on it and as for a tailshaft im really not sure what we are going to do, i think we will just cut and weld and see how long the unbalanced tailshaft will last http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/2thumbs.gif

Yeah a dudes mate on rollaclub has an injected 5l in a ke30. Similar to the type in vl's im pretty sure.

You tube has some videos looks pretty nice. But has to be a strict drag car cause it would be pretty heavy up the front. (i guess a 9incher will displace the weight a bit better)

[mattysshop]

didn't know you were going to do a paddock basher out of it... was never mentioned in the above posts.......................... but i still stand by my statement.

i thought that would explain the ghettoness of this car lol, this thing is in such bad nick that there is not point of even trying to get it on the road and we have easy access to a cheap 253, u cant beat the grumble of a v8 with half an exhaust, well unless its a 4age revving at 7000rpm

[Hen is a total nutcase]

If it's a paddy basher then just turf the old engine and drop the 253 in. Grind out anything in the way. Weld in bits that are needed. Add gaffa tape and zipties as required to fix leaks/broken bits.

Too easy. I don't see the need for photos of other ones.

And I think a decent tailshaft would be a good idea. Even at V8 revs, dodgy balance can cause dramas.

Yes and install a tailshaft loop please!

[dr1ft-pig]

taailshaft loop?
is that something to do with stoppuing it from coming throug the floor when it breaks?

[cuzzo]

Close, more so when one of the unis break it doest hit the ground and dig in, the propelling the lil rolla into the air. http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif
