    1. probably. same for most other conversions. fuel, mounts, etc.

    2. err.. how wide is it compared to the car you have in your driveway you can measure? mounts will need to be fabbed.

    3. decide what motor you want and stick it in . 4A can fit straight in with AE71 cross-member. . why stay carb when there is not a whole lot extra to do for efi?

    Why not just stick with the 4K? twin carbs, cam, shaved head, extractors, would all cost about $1k

    To get similar performance from an 18R or 2T you would be spending more money and more time on the car, i would just stick with the 4K, or maybe stick a bigger bottom end on it, i think there is a 1.5 K series block or something like that.

    I've seen a KE70 installed with a mildly worked 5K, use to go pretty hard. Just another option to pick from.

    OR 7K 1.8 lt
    and is HEAPS lighter the 18R or a T motor (lighter = better go, turn and stop!!)

    MATT.
