85 corona engine choice??

[lilcrash]

ok i got hold of an st141 corona auto with 9 months rego for nothing, im looking for an enigne conversion that can be done over the xmas break. let me know what u think. im thinking i have a 7mge sitting here with an auto, would this be an option??

thanks for any info

1G would be my choice. I've seen it done and it's a tight squeeze; methinks a 7M would be pushing it. Not to mention I'd never put a 7M in anything.

i reckon SR20DET would make sense,

in the toy family i;d go 1JZGTE, 1UZFE (with a view to forced induction down the track) depending on what is available and will fit.

i have been thinking and im swaying towards a 3sge or 3sgte. what does everyone think of that??

[roadsailing]

too hard to get RWD bits, as much as it would make your car a dirty bastard i think the SR is a much better idea.

[lilcrash]

rwd parts???

cant i just bolt it in??

Short answer: no.

Im only new to Tojo's but am looking to do a conversion to a vehicle that has a similar (NOT SAME) set up to yours. The 3s requires other accessories after you purchase the motor. You need clutch and spigot, 2s bell (someone correct me if i'm wrong please), fork, flywheel, RWD box, Manifold and possibly dizzy. There are probably a fair few other things that I have not mentioned, so as they say budget for your build and double it! The 1g still is a bit of messing around with bits certain bits and pieces but being RWD to start with makes it a little easier. Mounts, driveshaft, piping and wiring are about it. If you can find a 3S RWD conversion with motor for a reasonable price that would be a possibility. Some of the conversion parts are apparantly getting hard to find.

though expensive - 3S's are in RWD format in the Altezza
