    Default help me find a toyota drag project car.

    Ok im after an old toyota to turn into a proper drag car, non street registered and dedicated to strip times. (im having a trip in my ute down to outback nsw soon, and theres plenty of "free" toyotas down there ;') )

    can someone reccomend an old toyota which has:

    - Leaf rear suspension
    - full chasis
    - originally a 6cyl, or alternatively a huge engine bay


    i have thought of a few but dont knwo if they match above....

    Mk 2 corona - mx10, 12, 13, 23 etc
    ms65 or before crown - a ms53 wagon is a candidate....
    30 series old cressida

    anyone think of any others??
    thanks
    Blake

    just buy a KE70/AE71, they're the most bang for buck light as car, and have a heap of aftermarket support.

    just thinking,

    you are asking for help to find are car and we dont know what times you are looking at running, if you are talking about a 7 sec drag car go full tube chassis or even 3/4 chassis,

    talking 9-10 sec there are heaps out the look at 1JZ-747. even some geminis are doing 10s

    all depends on what your goal is,

    the mk2 corona doesnt have leaf rear or a full chassis
    cressida doesnt have a full chassis

    only toyo that will have the 3 things you listed is a aussie crown wagon

    and of course these 3 things are vital for a fast drag car
    - ma61 + 2jz-gte + v160 + 3.5 torsen

    One wounders why you want leaf spring :S

    And the full chassis = weight....

    Only pre-80's Crowns have a full chassis, unless of course you look at stuff like Landcruisers and Hilux's.

    and blake does have a hilux ATM ... so instead of the V6 conversion he could go with the what-ever-engine-he-plans-to-go-racing-with conversion?

    Last full chassis Crown was the 130 series, which ran thru till 1991-2.

    Hilux would have what you initially listed but wouldn't a multi link rear end be better?
